The anatomy of interatrial communications - what does the interventionist need to know? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Increasingly, the interventional cardiologist is seeking to close interatrial communications by inserting devices by means of catheterisation. So as to optimise these procedures, it is adavantageous to have a firm grasp of the anatomy of the normal ...

Association of Abnormal P‐Wave Indices With Dementia and Cognitive Decline Over 25 Years: ARIC‐NCS (The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Neurocognitive Study)

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Abnormal P‐wave indices (PWIs)—reflecting underlying left atrial abnormality—are associated with increased risk of stroke independent of atrial fibrillation.

Channelrhodopsin ion selectivity determines mechanisms and efficacy of optogenetic defibrillation in human atria and ventricles

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A, we used in silico models of human cardiomyocytes and microelectrode recordings on transgenic zebrafish hearts to study electrophysiology during optogenetic perturbations. Specifically, we compared effects of three distinct classes of channelrhodopsins: the cation non‐selective Chlamydomonas reinhardtii channelrhodopsin‐2 (ChR2)

Atrial Fibrillation Dynamics and Ionic Block Effects in Six Heterogeneous Human 3D Virtual Atria with Distinct Repolarization Dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2017
Atrial fibrillation (AF) usually manifests as reentrant circuits propagating through the whole atria creating chaotic activation patterns. Little is yet known about how differences in electrophysiological and ionic properties between patients modulate ...

Right Ventricular Dysfunction and Ventriculo‐Arterial Uncoupling in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Phenotype‐Specific Review of Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2026.
Right ventricular dysfunction affects 19%–33% of patients With heart failure With preserved ejection fraction and is associated With exercise intolerance, hospitalization, and mortality. Assessing right ventricular function and its coupling with the pulmonary circulation may improve risk stratification and support management tailored to distinct ...

Epicardial Connection as a Resource of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Pulsed Field Ablation: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This case highlights an uncommon but clinically important mechanism of atrial fibrillation recurrence after Pulsed field ablation. It emphasizes the importance of ablation along the ridge during the first session and also the need for careful evaluation of epicardial conduction, particularly in patients with a left common pulmonary vein.

Right Atrium–Dominant Single‐Loop Biatrial Tachycardia Mimicking Reverse Typical Atrial Flutter After Mitral Valve Repair via a Superior Transseptal Approach

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Following a superior transseptal approach, extensive postoperative septal conduction impairment facilitated a right atrium–dominant single‐loop biatrial tachycardia mimicking reverse typical atrial flutter. Detailed biatrial mapping and entrainment revealed limited left atrial participation, highlighting the importance of recognizing biatrial circuits ...

Role of interatrial conduction in atrial fibrillation: Mechanistic insights from renewal theory–based fibrillatory dynamic analysis

open access: yes, 2022
BACKGROUND: Interatrial conduction has been postulated to play an important role in atrial fibrillation (AF). The pathways involved in interatrial conduction during AF remain incompletely defined. OBJECTIVE: We recently showed physiological assessment of

Multimodality imaging of a rare intracardiac bronchogenic cyst

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports
The authors report a case of pathologically proven intracardiac bronchogenic cyst embedded within the interatrial septum of a 30-year-old woman presenting with chest pain and first-degree AV block.

Left Atrial Inexcitability in Children With Congenital Lupus‐Induced Complete Atrioventricular Block

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2015
Background Congenital atrioventricular block is a well‐established immunologic complication of maternal systemic lupus erythematosus. We sought to further characterize the electrophysiological manifestations of maternal systemic lupus erythematosus on ...
