Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a relatively uncommon disorder of the heart characterized by benign fatty infiltration of the interatrial septum that usually spares the fossa ovalis.

Accuracy of prediction of infarct-related arrhythmic circuits from image-based models reconstructed from low and high resolution MRI. [PDF]
Identification of optimal ablation sites in hearts with infarct-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) remains difficult to achieve with the current catheter-based mapping techniques.

Right ventricular (RV) mid-septal pacing should have fewer negative effects on left ventricular function compared to apical pacing. However, targeting the mid-septum may be technically challenging since it is usually done with two-dimensional fluoroscopy.

Randomized trial of conventional transseptal needle versus radiofrequency energy needle puncture for left atrial access (the TRAVERSE-LA study). [PDF]
BackgroundTransseptal puncture is a critical step in achieving left atrial (LA) access for a variety of cardiac procedures. Although the mechanical Brockenbrough needle has historically been used for this procedure, a needle employing radiofrequency (RF)

Twisted atrioventricular connections in double inlet right ventricle: evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Twisted atrioventricular connections occur almost exclusively in the hearts with biventricular atrioventricular connections. Only one example of double inlet left ventricle has been illustrated in which the axes of the two atrioventricular valves crossed

PERFORATION OF THE INTERVENTRICULAR SEPTUM OF THE HEART [PDF]
Perforation of the interventricular septum of the heart, aside from cases of congenital malformation, in the great majority of cases is due either' to rupture of an interventricular aneurysm or to ulcerative endocarditis. Perforation from other causes, such as rupture of a hydatid cyst, 1 has been described but such cases are relatively very rare ...

Predictors of the left ventricular dysfunction induced by ventricular arrhythmia
The most powerful predictor of life-threatening arrhythmia risk is a combination of low heart rate variability with low ejection fraction (EF) of the left ventricle. Aim.

The Interventricular Septum Is Biomechanically Distinct from the Ventricular Free Walls
The interventricular septum contributes to the pumping function of both ventricles. However, unlike the ventricular wall, its mechanical behavior remains largely unknown.

A feasible and automatic free tool for T1 and ECV mapping [PDF]
Purpose: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a useful non-invasive tool for characterizing tissues and detecting myocardial fibrosis and edema. Estimation of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) using T1 sequences is emerging as an accurate biomarker in ...

What Is the Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome?
As yet, there is no agreed definition for the so-called “hypoplastic left heart syndrome”. Even its origin remains contentious. Noonan and Nadas, who as far as we can establish first grouped together patients as belonging to a “syndrome” in 1958 ...
