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.

Effects of cardiac structural remodelling during heart failure on cardiac excitation - insights from a heterogeneous 3D model of the rabbit atria [PDF]

open access: green, 2015
Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. One of the effects of heart failure is the structural remodelling of cardiac tissue, including tissue dilation and development of fibrosis.

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,

Fast growth rate of a right atrial myxoma [PDF]

open access: yesEinstein (São Paulo), 2022
Primary cardiac tumors are rare, with an incidence between 0.0017 and 0.19%, and are asymptomatic in up to 72% of cases. Approximately 75% of tumors are benign, and nearly 50% of these are myxomas.

Multi-chamber cardioids unravel human heart development and cardiac defects

open access: yesCell, 2022
The number one cause of human fetal death are defects in heart development. Because the human embryonic heart is inaccessible, and the impacts of mutations, drugs, and environmental factors on the specialized functions of different heart compartments are

The Role of Left Atrial Strain in Detecting Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction: Comparison between the 2009 and 2016 Recommendations

open access: yesJournal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2021
Background: The frequency of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is overestimated by earlier recommendations. We compared the 2009 and 2016 guidelines regarding the detection of DD and explored the potential of adding left atrial (LA) strain to ...

Numerical simulation of electrocardiograms for full cardiac cycles in healthy and pathological conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This work is dedicated to the simulation of full cycles of the electrical activity of the heart and the corresponding body surface potential. The model is based on a realistic torso and heart anatomy, including ventricles and atria.
