Left Atrial Enlargement

2016-06-18 06:43:34
My aunt is under digoxin and nebivolol for old mitral commusirotomy and persistent atrial fibrillation. Her LA size is being increased over the years. Presently it is 5.5 cm. Do I need to worry about it? Does it mean heart failure? What is the maximum size that it can go? How to reduce the same? Pls advise.
