Chronic beta-adrenoceptor blockade and human atrial cell electrophysiology: evidence of pharmacological remodelling [PDF]

, 2003
<b>Objective:</b> Chronic beta-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment reduces the incidence of reversion to AF in patients, possibly via an adaptive myocardial response.

Variability of the Left Atrial Appendage in Human Hearts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of thrombus formation. It is commonly responsible for cerebral stroke whereas less frequently for pulmonary embolism.

The long‐term efficacy and safety of combining ablation and left atrial appendage closure: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Combined ablation and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an alternative for atrial fibrillation patients with a high risk of stroke. However, the long‐term outcomes of this combined procedure remain elusive.

Intermediate-Term Risk of Stroke Following Cardiac Procedures in a Nationally Representative Data Set. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Studies on stroke risk following cardiac procedures addressed only perioperative and long-term risk following limited higher-risk procedures, were poorly generalizable, and often failed to stratify by stroke type. We calculated stroke risk in

Electrophysiological effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine on isolated human atrial myocytes, and the influence of chronic beta-adrenoceptor blockade [PDF]

, 2003
<b>1.</b> 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) has been postulated to play a proarrhythmic role in the human atria via stimulation of 5-HT₄ receptors.

Modification of the left atrial appendage and its role in stroke risk reduction with non-valvular atrial fibrillation

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2021
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders encountered by clinicians in clinical practice. Patients with atrial fibrillation are at risk of cerebrovascular and systemic embolic events, which may be attenuated by commencement ...

Surgical clip closure of the left atrial appendage

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common atrial arrhythmia, but it is not a benign disease. AF is an important risk factor for thromboembolic events, causing significant morbidity and mortality.

Improved outcomes in CABG patients with atrial fibrillation associated with surgical left atrial appendage exclusion

Journal of cardiac surgery, 2021
We sought to determine the impact of left atrial appendage clip exclusion (LAACE) on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) outcomes among patients with pre‐existing atrial fibrillation (AF).
