Abstract figure legend Stasis before and after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in participants with high stasis and low stasis. Stasis is predominantly located in LAA and reduced after LAAO. But in the participant with high stasis, stasis remains close to the occlusion site, indicating a potential risk for device related thrombi.

Abstract figure legend Digital heart models of human donor atria with cardiac co‐morbidities revealed that regions with AWT variation, aligned myofibres adjacent to disorganised zones and fibrotic borders promoted the localisation and stability of RDs. AWT had a global influence, whereas fibre orientation and fibrosis exerted chamber‐specific regional ...

Abstract figure legend We present a shape modelling‐based morphological analysis of sex differences in cardiac anatomy. We conduct our analysis on 456 healthy subjects from the UK Biobank (227M/229F) to uncover sex‐based differences in healthy cardiac morphology.
