Left atrioventricular ratio (LA:LV): using left ventricular size as the reference for identifying maladaptive left atrial remodelling
The LA:LV ratio effectively discriminates between adaptive and maladaptive atrial remodelling. LA:LV is typically ∼0.5. Lower ratios correlate with higher functional capacity and physiological remodelling, whereas ratios ≥0.75 may indicate pathological remodelling and warrant consideration of atrial pathology.
