Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I passed carefully through your concern and would like to explain that let atrial enlargement occurs mainly due to an underlying cardiomyopathy, a valvular heart disease, a congenital heart defect (like atrial septal defect), or persistent atrial fibrillation.
It is necessary to investigate the exact reason of LA dilatation.
In general, once LA is dilated, it could not return to its previous normal dimensions.
In addition, LA volume or area should be evaluated before getting to conclusion of dilatation.
Could you upload a recent cardiac ultrasound report for a direct review and a second professional opinion?
Let me know in case of any further questions!
Kind regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
