Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy and Left Atrial Remodeling: A Novel Insight?
Biomedicines, 2023 Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) restores ventricular dyssynchrony, improving left ventricle (LV) systolic function, symptoms, and outcome in patients with heart failure, systolic dysfunction, and prolonged QRS interval. The left atrium (LA) plays

Left atrial size in patients with arterial hypertension [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2006 INTRODUCTION Left atrial size is increased in patients with arterial hypertension. Left atrial enlargement represents a risk factor of atrial fibrillation and stroke. Left atrial size depends on the effect of many other etiological factors, predominantly

Limited left atrial surgical ablation effectively treats atrial fibrillation but decreases left atrial function [PDF]
Europace, 2016 Limited left atrial (LA) surgical ablation with bipolar radiofrequency is considered to be an effective procedure for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). We studied whether limited LA surgical ablation concomitant to cardiac surgery is able to maintain LA function.Thirty-six consecutive patients (age 66 ± 12 years, 53% male, 78% persistent AF ...

Left atrial structural and mechanical remodelling in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
ESC Heart Failure, 2021 Aims In patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), an association between left atrial (LA) dilatation and dysfunction is expected, but the degree of coexistence of the two abnormalities and their relative prognostic role is not ...

Left atrial eccentricity in chronic mitral regurgitation: relation to left atrial function [PDF]
European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012 The aim of this study was to assess the changes in the left atrial (LA) shape and to identify the determinants of these changes in chronic mitral regurgitation (MR).We enrolled 125 consecutive patients (56 ± 16 years, 51% men) with chronic MR caused by myxomatous mitral valve disease in sinus rhythm and 45 control patients (54 ± 15 years, 55% men ...
