Longitudinal Tracking of Left Atrial Diameter Over the Adult Life Course: Clinical Correlates in the Community
Open accessAbstract
Background— Increased left atrial diameter (LAD) is associated with elevated risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardiovascular disease. Information is limited regarding the short- or long-term correlates of LAD. Methods and Results— We evaluated clinical correlates of LAD for a 16-year period in 4403 Framingham Study participants (mean age, 45 years; 52% women; median observations/participant=3) using multilevel modeling. We related age, sex, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), diabetes, and antihypertensive treatment to LAD. Sex-specific growth curves for LAD were estimated for individuals with low, intermediate, and high risk factor burden. We also related risk factors to changes in LAD during a 4-year period in 3365 participants. Age, male sex (3.83 mm compared to women), greater BMI, higher systolic BP (0.24 mm per 10 mm Hg increment), and antihypertensive treatment (0.54 mm) were associated positively with LAD ( P <0.001). Men had a greater increase in LAD with BMI than women (2.02 versus 1.77 mm in women, per 5-unit increment), and individuals receiving antihypertensive treatment experienced a greater increase in LAD with age (0.95 versus 0.63 mm per 10-year age increment) when compared with those not receiving antihypertensive treatment. Overall, greater risk factor burden was positively associated with LAD. These risk factors were also associated positively with 4-year change in LAD ( P <0.001). Conclusions— Our longitudinal study of a large community-based sample identified higher BP and greater BMI as key modifiable correlates of LAD, suggesting that maintaining optimal levels of these risk factors through the life course may prevent atrial remodeling and AF.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
