Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF): Advances and Challenges

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This state‐of‐the‐art review is based on the Philippe Coumel Lecture in 2024 (Figure 1). It highlights the confluence of two major cardiovascular epidemics, atrial fibrillation and heart failure, with preserved ejection fraction. In these conditions, advances in electrophysiology and heart failure physiology are intertwined and are integrated ...

Intermittent Interatrial Block in a Patient With Recurrent Transient Ischemic Attacks

open access: yesAnnals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 30, Issue 5, September 2025.
This case underscores the clinical importance of recognizing IAB, particularly intermittent forms, in patients with ESUS. ABSTRACT Interatrial block (IAB) is a conduction disorder linked to atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke. Intermittent IAB, often triggered by premature atrial complexes (PACs), may precede AF and increase thromboembolic ...

Porcine heart interatrial septum anatomy

open access: yesAnnals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2018
The left-sided atrial septal pouch (SP), a recently re-discovered anatomical structure within the human interatrial septum, has emerged as a possible source of thrombi formation and a trigger for atrial fibrillation, thereby potentially increasing the risk for ischemic stroke.

Using Shockwave Lithotripsy to Treat Severe Calcified Mitral Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 106, Issue 2, Page 1062-1066, August 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) with significant calcification presents challenges for both surgical and transcatheter interventions. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is often limited in these cases due to valve rigidity, increasing the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR).

Unusual Syncope due to Intravascular Leiomyomatosis With Intracardiac Extension: A Case Report and Focused Literature Review

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Intravascular leiomyomatosis with intracardiac extension is a rare disease that could cause syncope as the first manifestation. It should be suspected mostly in women of middle age with a medical history of uterine leiomyoma. Physicians must perform a multimodal imaging strategy to accurately characterize the mass's extension and perform the ...

Paradoxical embolism with an intact interatrial septum [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2007
A 71-year-old woman with a recent onset of recurrent transient ischaemic attacks was referred for further diagnostic assessment. Stroke occurred each time shortly after performing a Valsalva manoeuvre. The patient mentioned a stable dyspnoea NYHA II, a mildly reduced exercise capacity, and no …

Platypnea‐Orthodeoxia Syndrome Post‐Pneumonectomy: A Case of Right‐To‐Left Shunting and Successful PFO Closure

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Platypnea‐orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by dyspnea (platypnea) and arterial desaturation (orthodeoxia) in the upright position, with symptom relief upon lying down. This syndrome is commonly associated with cardiac anomalies, particularly patent foramen ovale (PFO), where increased right atrial pressure facilitates ...

Sequential Venous Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty and Balloon Dilatation of the Interatrial Septum during Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2017
Percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (PMVR) is widely used for selected, high-risk patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR). This report describes a case of 81-year-old woman presenting with severe and highly symptomatic mitral valve

Left ventricular decompression in paediatric veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support: Reviewing the evidence

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 2711-2725, August 2025.
Abstract Veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) is crucial for neonatal and paediatric patients with severe circulatory collapse but may cause left ventricular (LV) overload, affecting myocardial recovery and causing complications. Evidence on optimal LV decompression strategies in paediatric patients remains limited.
