In the general population, obesity appears to be the most important risk factor for left atrial<unk> . Persistent atrial fibrillation results in retention of blood in the left atrium secondary to inadequate pumping of blood by the atrium into the left ventricle. Similar pathophysiologic process occurs in mitral stenosis resulting in subsequent left atrial<unk> . Aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic insufficiency and other causes of left ventricular heart failure causes an increase in back pressure within the atrium resulting in subsequent left atrial<unk> .
