Atrial Cardiopathy and Cryptogenic Stroke [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Recent advances in pathophysiology suggest that a pathological atrial substrate can cause embolic stroke even in patients without atrial fibrillation (AF).

Risk of Dementia Associated With Atrial Cardiopathy: The ARIC Study [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022 Background The contribution of atrial cardiopathy to dementia risk is uncharacterized. We aimed to evaluate the association of atrial cardiopathy with incident dementia and potential mediation by atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke.

Atrial cardiopathy in embolic stroke of undetermined source [PDF]
Brain and Behavior, 2021 Introduction Atrial cardiopathy is one of the most common potential sources of thromboembolism for embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The study aims to investigate the incidence of atrial cardiopathy (defined by severe left atrial enlargement (

Associations Between Atrial Cardiopathy and Cerebral Amyloid: The ARIC‐PET Study [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for cognitive decline, possibly from silent brain infarction. Left atrial changes in structure or function (atrial cardiopathy) can lead to AF but may impact cognition independently.

Atrial cardiopathy and cognitive impairment [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Cognitive impairment involves complex interactions between multiple pathways and mechanisms, one of which being cardiac disorders. Atrial cardiopathy (AC) is a structural and functional disorder of the left atrium that may be a substrate for other ...

Atrial cardiopathy is associated with cerebral microbleeds in ischemic stroke patients [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 ObjectiveCerebral microbleeds (CMB) are small accumulations of hemosiderin associated with cerebrovascular risk factors, but whether they are associated with atrial cardiopathy is not known.

Markers of Atrial Cardiopathy in Severe Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Background and PurposeThe current definition of embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) seems to be too broad, including strokes due to heterogeneous mechanisms, such as atrial cardiopathy and other occult cardiac conditions, aortic arch plaques ...

Impact of Left Atrial Appendage Morphology on Recurrence in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source and Atrial Cardiopathy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Background: The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a major source of thrombus and non-chicken wing (CW). LAA morphology is a risk factor for embolic events in atrial fibrillation.
