Atrial Myopathy Underlying Atrial Fibrillation
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2020 While AF most often occurs in the setting of atrial disease, current assessment and treatment of patients with AF does not focus on the extent of the atrial myopathy that serves as the substrate for this arrhythmia. Atrial myopathy, in particular atrial fibrosis, may initiate a vicious cycle in which atrial myopathy leads to AF, which in turn leads to ...

JACC: Case Reports, 2023 The management of atrial septal defects (ASDs) has been revolutionized by the advent of percutaneous transvenous occlusion devices. This case series describes techniques required to perform a transeptal puncture safely and effectively in patients ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 BackgroundLarge animal models play an important role in our understanding of the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). Our aim was to determine whether prospectively collected baseline variables could predict the development of sustained AF in ...

Glycemic control is associated with atrial structural remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019 Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been demonstrated to be a strong risk factor for development and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, how DM and glycemic control affect the pathogenesis of AF has not been sufficiently investigated ...

Mid cristal atrial tachycardia and ivabradine: A Case Report
Heart and Mind, 2021 We present an extreme rare case of cristal atrial tachycardia (AT) in a 23-year-old male presenting with recurrent refractory palpitation since last 1 year treated with betablocker metoprolol 50 mg twice daily.

An Unusual Presentation of Right Atrial Myxoma: A Case Report
Oman Medical Journal, 2023 A right atrial myxoma extending to the inferior vena cava with associated right-to-left shunting leading to systemic desaturation is an exceedingly rare clinical entity. The number of cases reported in the literature to date is not more than five.

Atrial fibrosis and the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Heart Rhythm, 2007 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), and CHF has been shown to be associated with atrial structural remodeling resulting in fibrosis. Atrial interstitial fibrosis has been seen in patients with CHF and in animal models of pacing-induced heart failure.

Scientific ReportsTransseptal puncture (TSP) is widely used in catheter-based cardiac interventions to gain left atrial (LA) access, but its workflow has remained largely unchanged and is still a source of serious complications.
