High-Grade Left Atrial Pleomorphic Sarcoma: Case Report and Review
Primary pleomorphic sarcoma of the left atrium is a rare tumor. There is no actual evidence of the management of this pathological entity, so the main treatment is individualized, surgical management being the cornerstone of the treatment.

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]
This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

Detection of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) transcript in the rat heart and immune organs [PDF]
Previous studies suggested the expression of mRNA, coding for CNP, exclusively in the central nervous system. In the present study, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique instead of the less sensitive Northern blot hybridization, CNP ...

Effects of candesartan, an angiotensin II receptor type I blocker, on atrial remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats [PDF]
Hypertension-induced structural remodeling of the left atrium (LA) has been suggested to involve the renin–angiotensin system. This study investigated whether treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker, candesartan, regresses atrial remodeling in ...

Atrial fibrillation and electrophysiology in transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of FKBP12 [PDF]
Cardiomyocyte-restricted overexpression of FK506-binding protein 12 transgenic (αMyHC-FKBP12) mice develop spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the present study is to explore the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of AF in αMyHC-FKBP12 ...

Whole-Heart Assessment of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in the Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot
Approximately 10% of congenital heart diseases (CHDs) include Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Fortunately, due to advanced surgical techniques, most patients survive until adulthood.

Complete atrial-specific knockout of sodium-calcium exchange eliminates sinoatrial node pacemaker activity. [PDF]
The origin of sinoatrial node (SAN) pacemaker activity in the heart is controversial. The leading candidates are diastolic depolarization by "funny" current (If) through HCN4 channels (the "Membrane Clock" hypothesis), depolarization by cardiac Na-Ca ...
