Suspected Cardioembolic Stroke Linked to Left Atrial Stunning After Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
After pulsed field ablation with pulmonary vein and posterior wall isolation, a patient developed ischemic stroke due to left carotid artery occlusion. Pathology of the retrieved thrombus revealed an acute red thrombus, suggesting left atrial stunning–induced thrombus formation.

Prevalence, Characteristics, and Outcomes of Valvular Heart Disease in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the ORBIT‐AF (Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation)

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundThe presence of valvular heart disease (VHD) may affect the risk of stroke and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Community‐based estimates of prevalence and outcomes of specific forms of VHD in patients with AF are lacking ...

Ischemic mitral regurgitation: Individualized treatment prevails [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
For years now, the surgical community has been living under the assumption that mitral valve annuloplasty (MVA) is always superior to mitral valve replacement (MVR) in the treatment of ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). It has become apparent, however, that this was no more than conjecture that was based on weak evidence from several retrospective ...

Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Mitral Valve Repair in Patients Without Atral Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis of Time to Event Data

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients without atrial fibrillation undergoing mitral valve repair, prophylactic left atrial appendage occlusion significantly reduces long‐term thromboembolic events and early in‐hospital stroke, without increasing mortality, although it is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Chronic Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]

Circulation, 2012
Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (cIMR) remains a vexing problem for a large number of patients and their respective clinicians. It is estimated that ≈2 million Americans experience cIMR, and this number is likely to increase with an aging general population and improved survival rates for myocardial infarction.1 Despite the large number of ...

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 539-555, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.

Quantitative Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion in Physiological and Pathological Hypertrophy Using Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
Myocardial hypertrophy can be classified into physiological and pathological types based on etiology, with significant differences in clinical outcomes. This study utilized myocardial contrast echocardiography to quantitatively assess myocardial microcirculatory perfusion in patients with different types of hypertrophy.
