Therapeutic Dilemma of Natural Watchman: Congenital Absence of the Left Atrial Appendage

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2018
Congenital absence of the left atrial appendage is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly which is usually an incidental finding. We present a rare case of congenital absence of the left atrial appendage in a 77-year-old female patient with atrial ...

Investigating the relationship between the shape of the left atrial appendage and the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine
Introduction: Appendage is the growth of the left atrium, which is different in terms of shape and size. This research aimed to investigate the relationship between the shape of the left atrium appendage and atrial fibrillation incidence.Methods: In a ...

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Factors associated with left atrial appendage thrombus (results of a retrospective analysis)

Journal of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University: Series Medicine
Background. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia and, due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage, is associated with a significant increase in the risk of thromboembolic complications, primarily ischemic stroke, transient

G3BP1 Succinylation at K413 is Critical for Cardiac Function by Modulating PI3K‐AKT‐mTOR Signal Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating the impact of G3BP1 succinylation at K413 on cardiac function. In the healthy human heart, G3BP1 succinylation maintains homeostatic mTOR signaling. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure (HF), G3BP1 de‐succinylation induces RagA expression and disrupts the binding of the TSC1/2 complex, leading to the ...

Displacement of occluder after left atrial appendage closure: A case report

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Atrial fibrillation is closely associated with thrombotic events. In non‐valvular atrial fibrillation, 90% of thrombi are formed by the left atrial appendage.
