Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022 Background Emerging data suggest important prognostic value to left atrial (LA) characteristics, but the independent impact of LA function on outcome remains unsubstantiated. Thus, we aimed to define the incremental prognostic value of LA coupling index (

Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]
Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent heart rhythm disorder. The estimated prevalence of AF in the United States in 2010 ranged between 2.7 and 6.1 million and is projected to increase to 12.1 million by 2030.1 Similar figures have been described in Europe: the estimated prevalence of AF in adults >55 years was 8.8 million in 2010 and ...

Three-dimensional echocardiography and 2D-3D speckle tracking imaging in chronic pulmonary hypertension. diagnostic accuracy in detecting hemodynamic signs of RV failure [PDF]
, 2015 Background and objective. Our aim was to compare three-dimensional (3D) and 2D and 3D speckle tracking (2D-STE, 3D-STE) echocardiographic parameters with conventional right ventricular (RV) indexes in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension (PH ...

Atrial functional mitral regurgitation: Insufficiently understood and recognized
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2022 Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is a form of functional mitral regurgitation that is still insufficiently recognized and characterized. The driving cause of AFMR is atrial, not ventricular dilatation, usually due to long-standing atrial fibrillation, and often in association with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and heart failure ...

Saudi Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences, 2019 Atrial fibrillation is a common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide. In patients with hyperthyroidism, atrial fibrillation is the most common comorbid cardiac condition. Here, the authors report a case of a 47-year-old female with no significant medical history
