BSA-adjusted z-scores of right atrial area, measured using planimetry/tracing. Areas are adjusted for body size using allometric equations (allometric exponents are different for children on either side of 1m²).

We hope that this study will pave way for a gradual paradigm shift to more quantitative approaches for the assessment of RA size and allow clinicians to better incorporate assessment of the right heart into an echocardiographic evaluation.
