The influence of epidural anesthesia on the electrical activity of heart atria. [PDF]

open access: yesKardiochir Torakochirurgia Pol, 2014
High thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) causes blockade of sympathetic fibers involved in innervation of the heart (segments T1-T4), which results in changes of cardiac electrophysiology. The anti-arrhythmic effects of TEA on supraventricular arrhythmias, mainly atrial fibrillation, are controversial.The aim of the study was to assess the influence of ...

Trandolapril Attenuates Pro-Arrhythmic Downregulation of Cx43 and Cx40 in Atria of Volume Overloaded Hypertensive and Normotensive Rats [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules
Pressure overload in non-treated or resistant hypertension (HTN) increases the risk of heart failure (HF) as well as the occurrence of fatal ventricular arrhythmias and stroke-provoking atrial fibrillation (AF), while perturbed connexin-43 (Cx43) and ...

Observations on the Atria of the Human Heart by Direct and Semidirect Electrocardiography [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 1952
By evaluation of direct electrocardiographic leads from the right atrium and semidirect esophageal leads from the left atrium, "atriodiagrams" have been constructed for both atria. The spread of activation in the atria has been studied under normal conditions as well as in cases of mitral heart disease, cor pulmonale, etc.

Twin heart with a fused atria and separate ventricles in conjoined twins

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2010
One of the most interesting congenital malformations is that of conjoined twins. We report echocardiographic features of twin heart in dicephalus, tribrachius, dispinous, thoracoomphalopagus twin. It showed two hearts fused at atrial level.

Small Conductance Ca2 +-Activated K+ (SK) Channel mRNA Expression in Human Atrial and Ventricular Tissue: Comparison Between Donor, Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure Tissue

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
In search of more efficacious and safe pharmacological treatments for atrial fibrillation (AF), atria-selective antiarrhythmic agents have been promoted that target ion channels principally expressed in the atria.

Cardiac atrial masses after a heart transplant. An array of differential diagnoses

open access: yesRevista Colombiana de Cardiología, 2022
Cardiac masses represent a heterogeneous group, including secondary malignancies as the most common ones, followed by primary tumors, vegetations, and thrombi.

Diabetes Alters the Expression and Translocation of the Insulin-Sensitive Glucose Transporters 4 and 8 in the Atria. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Although diabetes has been identified as a major risk factor for atrial fibrillation, little is known about glucose metabolism in the healthy and diabetic atria. Glucose transport into the cell, the rate-limiting step of glucose utilization, is regulated

A Primary Neuroendocrine Tumor Mimicking a Thrombus in the Left Atrial Appendage

open access: yes대한영상의학회지, 2022
Most cardiac tumors are metastases, and primary cardiac tumors are rare; even among primary cardiac tumors, primary cardiac neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are extremely rare.

Evaluation of the ATRIA and CHA2DS2-VASc Scores and Their Performance on Predicting Mortality in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism

open access: yesHaseki Tıp Bülteni, 2022
Aim:Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a condition caused by thrombosis and is a common cause of death. Although there are studies of PE with CHA2DS2-VASc (C: congestive heart failure or left ventricular systolic dysfunction, H: hypertension, A: age of ≥75 years,
