  1. (Note VR refers to the measurement on the VR image of an independent LA remodeling; VR refers to the measurements on the VR image of the cardiac valves pattern; MPR refers to the measurement at the ultrasonic plane; MPR refers to the measurement at the apical two-chamber and four-chamber plane; MPR refers to the measurement at the orthogonal plane; MPR refers to the measurement at the oblique axis plane; MPRa of the anteroposterior diameter means measurement at the orthogonal axis plane; MPRb of the anteroposterior diameter refers to the measurement at the orthogonal sagittal plane; MPRa of the long diameter refers to the measurement at the coronal plane; MPRb of the long diameter refers to the measurement at the sagittal plane; VRa of the transverse diameter refers to the distance between the inner and outer lateral walls of LA; VRb of the transverse diameter suggests that the minimum distance of the extension line between the left and right PV orifices represents the transverse diameter.)
