s/l severe "RA elongation." sm for context - bj


Posted: Sep 16, 2010

Diagnosis section:  Enlarged left atrium, dilated right ventricle, severe "RA enlongation."

Thanks.

Could RA be the abbreviation for right atrium? - just a thought

My docs just started dictating weird abbreviations.

Not sure. I thought that too. - jb

But when I googled that phrase, nothing really came up. Just not sure. Thank you.

right atrial - je suis MT

In that context (with other cardiac chambers enlarged), right atrial would seem to fit.

RA (right atrial) dilatation - not elongation
