Indexed left atrial volume is a strong independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in patients with severe Chagas cardiomyopathy, providing a valuable tool for risk stratification.
Rassi et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Chagas heart disease with severe systolic dysfunction (n=60). Indexed left atrial volume (LAV/m²) vs. Lower indexed left atrial volume was evaluated on Cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.033, 95% CI 1.017-1.049, p=<0.0001). Indexed left atrial volume was an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in patients with severe Chagas heart disease (HR 1.033, p < 0.0001).
