: In recent years, biosimilars of reference adalimumab (re-ADA), etanercept (re-ETN) and infliximab (re-IFX) have been licensed. In the absence of specific controlled studies, by the extrapolation principle, biosimilars have been approved for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA).: To assess the efficacy and safety of biosimilars in PsA, the literature, present until 30 June 2019, was reviewed.

Aims: The determinants of discrepancies among two-dimensional echocardiographic (2D-E) methods for left atrial volume (LAV) assessment are poorly investigated.

Methods And Results: Maximal LAV was measured in 613 individuals (282 healthy subjects,180 athletes, and 151 hypertensives; age 45 ± 20 years, 62% male) using the ellipsoid model (LAVEllips), the area-length method (LAVAL), and the Simpson's rule (LAVSimps). On the basis of a mathematical model, two left atrial (LA) geometry indexes were tested as predictors of discrepancies between methods: the ratio between LA medial-lateral diameter (MLD) and LA anteroposterior diameter (APD); and the ratio between LA area in the four-chamber view and that of an ellipse with the same diameters [deviation from ellipse (DE)-coefficient].
