• To evaluate the volume and function of left atrium and left atrial appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography.
 Methods: A total of 112 patients with atrial fibrillation were divided into two groups: a paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (ParAF) group (n=80) and a persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF) group (n=32). Control group was people without atrial fibrillation (n=40). Clinical data of the participants were collected. Left atrial dimension (LAD), left atrial volume (LAV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) were measured by transthoracic echocardiography, while left atrial appendage peak emptying flow velocity (LAAeV), left atrial appendage peak filling flow velocity (LAAfV), left atrial appendage maximum volume (LAAVmax) and left atrial appendage minimum volume (LAAVmin) were measured by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. Left atrial volume
