Objective Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is a precursor of gout and is also associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to understand perceptions about asymptomatic hyperuricemia and views about urate‐lowering therapy in people with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Methods Participants in a multinational study of

Left atrial appendage occlusion.
Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a treatment strategy to prevent blood clot formation in atrial appendage. Although, LAA occlusion usually was done by catheter-based techniques, especially percutaneous trans-luminal mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), it can be done during closed and open mitral valve commissurotomy (CMVC, OMVC) and mitral valve ...

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure [PDF]
Stroke is one of the most severe complications of atrial fibrillation. Oral anticoagulation is the first choice therapy in prevention of cardiac embolic events. Particularly in patients with the history of serious bleeding, oral anticoagulation may be contraindicated.

Displacement of occluder after left atrial appendage closure: A case report
Key Clinical Message Atrial fibrillation is closely associated with thrombotic events. In non‐valvular atrial fibrillation, 90% of thrombi are formed by the left atrial appendage.

Therapeutic Dilemma of Natural Watchman: Congenital Absence of the Left Atrial Appendage
Congenital absence of the left atrial appendage is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly which is usually an incidental finding. We present a rare case of congenital absence of the left atrial appendage in a 77-year-old female patient with atrial ...
