Normal reference intervals for left atrial volume and cardiac dimensions according to age and sex assessed by two different methods using cardiac computed tomography angiography
Indexed LAVmax was not significantly different across sexes but increased with age. LAVmax can be reliably reported from CCTA datasets, with 3D volumetric method providing the largest and most reproducible values. Normal values for all cardiac chambers according to age categories and sex were also provided. These normative values enhance the clinical utility of routine CCTA beyond coronary imaging.
