Left atrial (LA) size and function is recognized as a cumulative index of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and an index of left heart disease (LHD). While anticipated that LA features contribute to LHD-associated pulmonary hypertension (PH), we hypothesized that LA abnormalities (LAA) may exist in other WSPH groups. Therefore, we examined LA structure and function in the PVDOMICS cohorts. PVDOMICS enrolled 1097 total subjects with PH (mPA
