Implications of left atrial volume index in patients with three-vessel coronary disease: A 6.6-year follow-up cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: LAVI is a potential index for risk stratification and therapeutic decision-making in patients with three-vessel coronary disease. CABG is associated with improved long-term outcomes compared with MT alone, regardless of LAVI quartiles. When LAVI is severely elevated, PCI is associated with higher risk of cardiac death than CABG.PMID:37262047 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000002723
