Giant left atria (GLA) is a condition where the left atrial diameter exceeds 65 mm. It is closely related to rheumatic mitral valve regurgitation or mixed mitral disease with predominant regurgitation and tends not to occur in patients with mitral regurgitation due to other causes. The majority of patients are symptomatic with the most common symptoms being that of shortness of breath, dysphagia, palpitations, chest pain, and thromboembolic events. Massive asymptomatic enlargement of the left atrium is a rare entity. We present such a case.
巨大左心房(GLA)是指左心房直径超过 65 毫米的一种病症。它与风湿性二尖瓣反流或主要为反流的混合性二尖瓣疾病密切相关,而不常发生于由其他原因导致二尖瓣反流的患者中。大多数患者有症状,最常见的症状是呼吸急促、吞咽困难、心悸、胸痛和血栓栓塞事件。无症状的巨大左心房扩大是一种罕见的情况。我们报告了这样一个病例。
