Czech term or phrase: LA 4CH
Details of an echocardiogram:

2D: LKD 73mm, LKS 66mm, IVS 11mm, LA diam 45mm, AO kořen 32mm, [?Ar ...] Ao 34mm, AO separace nelze, PKD 35mm, PS 47mm, LA 4CH 52+64mm

I take it that LKD corresponds to LVd and LKS to LVs, and I take PS to be "pravá síň", and so on...

What is LA, and in particular, what does "LA 4CH" mean?

Could well be - however I think that the PS 47mm should be PKS (Right ventricle width)

Asker: Thank you. Would you say that LA means "long axis" both times it comes up in the above 2 lines of text?
