Atriomegaly
Definition
Abnormal, pathological, and permanent enlargement of the volume or dimensions of one or both cardiac atria, usually caused by chronic pressure or volume overload. This structural alteration is frequently associated with valvular stenosis or insufficiency (mitral or tricuspid) and predisposes the patient to the onset of severe cardiac rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation.
