A preliminary assessment of the effects of ATI-2042 in subjects with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation using implanted pacemaker methodology [PDF]

, 2009
Aims ATI-2042 (budiodarone) is a chemical analogue of amiodarone with a half life of 7 h. It is electrophysiologically similar to amiodarone, but may not have metabolic and interaction side effects.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens prognosis in patients with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1183-1193, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

Right Atrial Contraction Strain Is Associated With Clinically Significant Cellular Rejection in Patients After Heart Transplantation

Transplant International
Strain echocardiography (SE) may be used for surveillance in patients after heart transplantation (HTx); however, data on atrial strain are lacking. We aimed to compare the significance of ventricular and atrial strain with respect to an associated acute

Remodelling of human atrial K+ currents but not ion channel expression by chronic β-blockade [PDF]

, 2011
Chronic β-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment in patients is associated with a potentially anti-arrhythmic prolongation of the atrial action potential duration (APD), which may involve remodelling of repolarising K+ currents.

Real‐world characteristics and treatment of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis: A multicentre, observational study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1203-1216, April 2025.
The 366 patients diagnosed with transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) were analyzed regarding their clinical characteristics in the first year after approval of tafamidis 61 mg for ATTR‐CM in Germany. Nearly two‐thirds of the patients were in an advanced disease stage and 64% met the key criteria of the “Transthyretin Amyloidosis ...

The Clinical Applications of Left Atrial Strain: A Comprehensive Review

Medicina
Left atrial (LA) strain imaging, which measures the deformation of the LA using speckle-tracing echocardiography (STE), has emerged recently as an exciting tool to help provide diagnostic and prognostic information for patients with a broad range of ...

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1113-1118, April 2025.
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Reduced bi-atrial reservoir strain in patients with cardiac amyloidosis: a cardiac magnetic resonance feature-tracking study

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature
Background: Although heart strain analysis is useful for diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis (CA), it remains unclear which chamber best distinguishes CA from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
