Anxiety is associated with increased risk for atrial cardiopathy
Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2020Anxiety is common in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The mutual causal effect between anxiety and AF is expected with limited evidence. Atrial cardiopathy is a term to describe structural or electrophysiological atrium abnormality that precedes the onset of AF.

Atrial Cardiopathy and Stroke Prevention
Current Cardiology Reports, 2018Many patients with ischemic stroke have a stroke syndrome and neuroimaging findings consistent with embolism, but no evidence of atrial fibrillation. Recent data suggest that the pathological atrial substrate, or atrial cardiopathy, that underlies atrial fibrillation, rather than atrial fibrillation itself, may be an important cause of unexplained ...

Atrial Cardiopathy: Redefining Stroke Risk Beyond Atrial Fibrillation
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2023Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke are dual epidemics in society, both associated with poor clinical outcomes, patient disability, and significant healthcare expenditure. The conditions are interrelated and share complex causal pathways. Risk stratification algorithms such as the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score offer predictive value in stroke ...

Recent studies suggest that abnormalities of the left atrium in the absence of atrial fibrillation (AF) may increase risk of stroke, either as precursors to AF or as independent risk factors for the development of atrial thrombus and subsequent stroke. Markers for atrial disease, such as left atrial enlargement (LAE) on echocardiogram, evidence of left

Atrial cardiopathy (AC) is more frequent in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) than in patients with non-cardioembolic stroke. The aim of this work was to describe AC in patients with ESUS and to study its impact on detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) during follow-up.This is an observational study of 123 consecutive ESUS ...

Abstract TP31: Atrial Cardiopathy: Incidence in Endovascular Thrombectomy Patients
Stroke, 2020Background: Emerging evidence suggests that underlying atrial cardiopathy (AC) may result in thromboembolism formation in the absence of atrial fibrillation (AF). This may explain a proportion of large vessel occlusion (LVO) cryptogenic strokes.

Atrial cardiopathy and stroke mortality in the general population
International Journal of Stroke, 2019Background Prior studies examining the link between atrial cardiopathy and stroke risk have focused mainly on non-fatal stroke. Aims To examine the association between atrial cardiopathy and stroke mortality. Methods This analysis included 8028 participants (60.0 ± 13.4 years, 51.9% women, 49.8% white) from the Third National Health and Nutrition ...

Understanding Atrial Cardiopathy: an Under-Recognized Contributor to Cardioembolic Stroke
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2019Ischemic stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the world with cardioembolic stroke (CES) causing a disproportional amount of the morbidity and mortality associated with stroke. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the leading cause of CES, and as the population ages, the incidence of CES is anticipated to rise.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of thromboembolism. Atrial cardiopathy, defined as structural left atrial enlargement (LAE), has been proposed to be a unifying risk factor for stroke, with or without atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to understand the relative importance of LAE and AF as risk factors for stroke.We performed a ...

Left Atrial Abnormalities Indicating Diastolic Ventricular Dysfunction in Cardiopathy of Obesity
Chest, 1987Electrocardiograms and M-mode echocardiograms were evaluated in lean and obese patients, either normotensive or hypertensive, who were paired for mean arterial pressure, age, and sex. Electrocardiographic evidence of left atrial abnormalities (LAA) occurred more frequently (p less than 0.01) and left atrial size was greater in the obese than in the ...
