Atrial Strain and Strain Rate: A Novel Method for the Evaluation of Atrial Stunning
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2016 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in adults. Atrial stunning is defined as the temporary mechanical dysfunction of the atrial appendage developing after AF has returned to sinus rhythm (SR).We aimed to evaluate atrial contractile functions by strain and strain rate in patients with AF, following pharmacological and electrical ...

Impact of the MitraClip Procedure on Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate [PDF]
Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2018 Background— Although reverse remodeling of the left atrium (LA) has been shown after MitraClip placement in degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR), changes in LA strain and strain rate have not been evaluated in these patients or compared with surgical mitral valve repair. Methods and Results—

Left atrial strain — a current clinical perspective
Kardiologia Polska, 2021 The speckle-tracking technique has become an easily accessible, quick-to-use, and straightforward tool for assessing advanced myocardial function. Achievements in the analysis of the left atrium have demonstrated that it plays an important role in the physiology and pathophysiology of the circulatory system. Deformation analysis allows the detection of

Altered density of glomerular binding sites for atrial natriuretic factor in bile duct-ligated rats with ascites [PDF]
, 1991 The renal response to atrial natriuretic factor is blunted in cirrhosis with ascites. This might be due to alterations of renal receptors for atrial natriuretic factor.

Electrophysiological and arrhythmogenic effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine on human atrial cells are reduced in atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2007 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is proarrhythmic in atrial cells from patients in sinus rhythm (SR) via activation of 5-HT<sub>4</sub> receptors, but its effects in atrial cells from patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are unknown.
