Right atrial (RA) size predicts the outcome in some pathological conditions but reference values for RA volumes and myocardial function remain to be defined. Thus, we used two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) and three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) to define normative reference values of RA volumes and function. Two hundreds healthy volunteers (43 15 years, range 1875; 44 men) underwent two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) to obtain RA volumes and longitudinal strain (LS) of RA wall using 2D-STE, and 3DE to measure maximal (V-max), minimal, and preA volumes to calculate total, passive, and active emptying volumes (TotEV, PassEV, and ActEV) and emptying fractions (TotEF, PassEF, and ActEF). Three-dimensional echocardiography volumes (V-max, 52 15 mL vs. 41 14 mL), EVs (TotEV, 33 10 mL vs. 24 9 mL), and EFs (TotEF, 63 9 vs. 58 9) were larger than 2DE ones (all P 0.0001). Indexed 3D volumes were significantly larger in men than in women. RA TotEF correlated with total LS (r 0.24, P 0.025) and PassEF with positive LS (LSpos; r 0.34, P 0.0001). Ageing was associated with a decrease in passive (LSpos, r 041; PassEV, r 0.26; PassEF, r 0.38; all P 0.0001) and an increase in active RA function (negative LS, r 0.34; ActEV, r 0.25; all P 0.0001; and ActEF, r 0.15; P 0.035) in order to maintain TotEV (r 0.14, P 0.05). Our study provides normative values for RA volumes and function measured by 3DE and 2D-STE in a relatively large cohort of healthy subjects with a wide age range. These data will help clinicians to identify RA remodelling and dysfunction.
