White Matter and Perivascular Imaging Changes in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
ABSTRACT Objective Peak‐width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and diffusion tensor imaging–analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS), reflecting white matter integrity and glymphatic function, are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Factors associated with left atrial appendage thrombus (results of a retrospective analysis)
Background. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia and, due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage, is associated with a significant increase in the risk of thromboembolic complications, primarily ischemic stroke, transient

Epicardial fat pad within the transverse sinus mimicking a left atrial appendage thrombus
The presence of left atrial thrombus is a contraindication to cardioversion or catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation, due to the increased risk of systemic thromboembolism.

Heterotaxy and isomerism of the atrial appendages☆ [PDF]
Several of the assertions made by Serraf and colleagues [1], when describing heterotaxy syndrome, should be questioned. The syndrome is, indeed, a disorder that involves ‘abnormal lateralization of the abdominal viscera, thoracic organs and cardiac atria’; but this definition would include patients having so-called ‘situs inversus’. In support of their

Diffuse MRI Edema Predicts Relapse in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy–Related Inflammation
ABSTRACT Objective To identify MRI predictors of relapse and quantify relapse and mortality risk in cerebral amyloid angiopathy–related inflammation (CAA‐RI). A secondary objective was to assess the association between mycophenolate mofetil use and relapse risk. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of 36 patients with CAA‐RI treated at the

Percutaneous management of left atrial appendage perforation during device closure. [PDF]
A 76-year-old male patient was admitted for percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure because of chronic atrial fibrillation and a history of gastrointestinal bleeding under oral anticoagulation. The procedure was complicated by perforation of the
