Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 How enlarged is your left atrium? When I went for my consult with Dr. Natale in July of 2004, they measured my left atrium diameter at 5.0. I pretty much freaked out about this measurement, as it had only been 3.7 18 months earlier. My nurse told me that they also took into consideration the left atrial chamber size, and mine was within normal limits. Salwa recently responded to a post about this. If you go back a few pages, you can find it. I will certainly defer to Salwa's knowledge and experience. 4 months after my ablation, my left atrium was back to normal size. Good luck to you, Lil, and a very happy new year! Thank you . I don't really know the size - I hope to have an appt with my EP to go over results. I am surprised to hear the left atrial chamber can shrink back to normal size. That is good news. I thought once it was enlarged it stayed that way. Thank you for the good wishes and the same to you.
