Measurement of left and right atrial size is important for the management of arrhythmias, valvular and congenital heart disease. We have demonstrated that freehand three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is more accurate and reproducible than two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography for measurement of left ventricular mass and volume. However, no prior study has validated the accuracy of freehand 3D for the determination of left or right atrial volume.
