Transthoracic Echocardiography as a Tool for Early Detection of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Receiving Ibrutinib [PDF]
Background: Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors, particularly ibrutinib, have improved outcomes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia but are associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation.

Left Atrial Relaxation and Left Ventricular Systolic Function Determine Left Atrial Reservoir Function [PDF]
Background —Determinants of left atrial (LA) reservoir function and its influence on left ventricular (LV) function have not been quantified. Methods and Results —In an open-pericardium, paced (70 and 90 bpm) pig model of LV regional ischemia (left anterior descending coronary ...

Impact of left atrial appendage exclusion on left atrial function [PDF]
We sought to investigate the short-term and midterm effects of left atrial appendage exclusion on left atrial function. Left atrial appendage exclusion is considered a possible therapeutic option for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation.
