Left atrial volumetric remodeling predicts exercise capacity in nonobstructive HCM and may reflect chronic LV diastolic burden. This simple noninvasive measure of LA size may provide a long-term indication of the effects of chronically elevated filling pressures in patients with HCM and further studies testing its prognostic value are necessary.
