Left atrial volume index is superior to left atrial diameter index in relation to coronary heart disease in hypertension patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that LA volume index was superior to LA diameter index. LA volume index had independent prognostic implications in terms of coronary heart disease prediction in hypertension patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
