The left atrium takes the oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricles, which are then pumped to all parts of the body. Enlargement of the left atrium occurs due to increased pressure or increased volume of blood. This leads to chest pain, extreme fatigue, breathing disorders, arrhythmia, etc. The pooling of blood is caused by mitral valve disorders and problems with the left ventricles. Treatment includes reduction of blood pressure and eliminating the underlying condition.
