$Cardiac CTA derived left atrium emptying fraction (LAEF) improves predictive performance of established clinical risk scores and may be used to assess TAVR patient risk during pre-procedure workup and post-procedural surveillance. These images show LAVmax (A and B), LAVmin (C and D), and LAEF using cardiac CTA. LAEF was calculated as (LAVmax-LAVmin)/LAVmax x 100. Given LAVmax of 109 mL and LAVmin of 80 mL, the LAEF was calculated to be 27%. Image courtesy of AJR.$
