Right atrial size
RA size is summarized from linear axes, 2D area, indexed volume, and optional 3D volumes.
Clinically reviewed 24 May 2026 · EchoRapp clinical content
Simple approach
Use RA area and indexed volume as the main size anchors. Linear axes help confirm the chamber shape and view quality.
Detailed tutorial
RA size can vary with loading and image plane. Measurements should be checked against the 4CV view and the right-heart context.
- Long axis and short axis describe chamber geometry.
- RA area is a common 2D screening measurement.
- Indexed volume improves comparison across body size.
- 3D EDV and ESV can refine assessment when available.
Use IVC and tricuspid findings to contextualize RA pressure and loading.
