Figure 1. Change in LA size and volume before and after mitral valve repair surgery. LA anteroposterior diameter and LAVi_max are shown for all patients (A and B) and for patients with or without CV events (C and D). Data are displayed as the median value, with 25th and 75th percentiles (whiskers).

CV = cardiovascular; LA = left atrial; LAVi_max = left atrial maximal volume index.

*p < 0.05.
