Giant Left Atrium

Giant left atrium is a condition defined when the left atrial diameter exceeds 60-65 mm. It is commonly associated with mitral valve disease due to excess intracavitary pressure resulting in strain and dilation of the left atrial chamber. The enlarged left atrium leads to expansion of the left atrial volume that leads to the pressure increase in the main bronchus, lung and right ventricle with corresponding cardiopulmonary failure. As giant left atrium is a risk factor of sudden death, its existence merits careful evaluation and surgical intervention.

Giant Left Atrium

A trans-thoracic echocardiography and chest radiograph of a 26 year old lady diagnosed as rheumatic mitral regurgitation with atrial fibrillation revealed a giant left atrium of 10.9 cm size with symptoms of dyspnoea and palpitation. The patient was treated with left atrial size reduction along with mitral valve replacement surgery and showed an excellent and quick recovery with total disappearance of symptoms and restoration of sinus rhythm only within few days.University Heart Journal Vol. 14, No. 1, Jan 2018; 42-44
