Preoperative left atrial volume index is associated with postoperative outcomes in mitral valve repair for chronic mitral regurgitation

To assess determinants of left atrial reverse remodeling after mitral valve repair and to evaluate the impact of preoperative left atrial volume on postoperative outcomes.We reviewed the records of 720 patients who underwent mitral valve repair from September 2008 to July 2015 and had preoperative measurement of left atrial volume index. We analyzed the association of preoperative left atrial volume index on early and late outcomes, and...
