Fast growth rate of a right atrial myxoma [PDF]
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.

The different chambers of the human heart demonstrate regional physiological traits and may be differentially affected during pathological remodeling, resulting in heart failure. Few previous studies, however, have characterized the different chambers at

Systematic Analysis of Gene Expression Differences between Left and Right Atria in Different Mouse Strains and in Human Atrial Tissue [PDF]
Background: Normal development of the atria requires left-right differentiation during embryonic development. Reduced expression of Pitx2c (paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2, isoform c), a key regulator of left-right asymmetry, has recently ...

Duration of heart failure and the risk of atrial fibrillation: different mechanisms at different times? [PDF]
Chronic heart failure increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), with the prevalence of AF paralleling the severity of heart failure.1 Factors that underlie this increased susceptibility to AF may include electrical, structural, and neurohumoral ...

Unusual massive fatty infiltration of the heart in a British cat: a case report
A British cat was presented with generalized fatty infiltration of the heart compromising both ventricles and atria, resembling arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

The Distribution and Characteristics of Endogenous Cardiac Stem Cells in All Four Chambers of the Adult Human Heart [PDF]
The human myocardium harbours resident multi-potent cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). We investigated the distribution, properties, differentiation potential and effect of LV function on CPCs in all chambers of the human heart.

Mechanisms of termination and prevention of atrial fibrillation by drug therapy [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a disorder of the rhythm of electrical activation of the cardiac atria. It is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, has multiple aetiologies, and increases the risk of death from stroke.

Atrial cellular electrophysiological changes in patients with ventricular dysfunction may predispose to AF [PDF]
<b>Background:</b> Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the atrial cellular electrophysiological mechanisms in humans are unclear.

Accurate screening for septal defects is important for supporting radiologists' interpretative work. Some previous studies have proposed semantic segmentation and object detection approaches to carry out fetal heart detection; unfortunately, the models ...

National survey of the prevalence, incidence, primary care burden, and treatment of heart failure in Scotland [PDF]
Objective: To examine the epidemiology, primary care burden, and treatment of heart failure in Scotland, UK. Design: Cross sectional data from primary care practices participating in the Scottish continuous morbidity recording scheme between 1 April ...
