Abstract

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. 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 antihyperten...Continue Reading
