Contrast-enhanced CMR in patients after percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage: A pilot study [PDF]
Background To evaluate the feasibility and value of first-pass contrast-enhanced dynamic and post-contrast 3D CMR in patients after transcatheter occlusion of left atrial appendage (LAA) to identify incorrect placement and persistent leaks.

Innovative Approach Reveals How Receptors Control G Protein State Equilibria
Using conformational specific trFRET biosensors of the Gi protein (depicted at the bottom), the authors show that receptor activation can not only release GDP from the inactive G protein, but can also release GTP from the activated G protein, leading to the reformation of the RG ternary complex.

Surgical strategy for atrial functional mitral regurgitation with atrial fibrillation
Abstract Background With the growing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) combined with AF is expected to become a common clinical issue. We have summarized various surgical treatment strategies based on the degree of mitral regurgitation (MR ...

Rate-dependency of action potential duration and refractoriness in isolated myocytes from the rabbit AV node and atrium [PDF]
During atrial fibrillation, ventricular rate is determined by atrioventricular nodal (AVN) conduction, which in part is dependent upon the refractoriness of single AVN cells.
