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 ...

White Matter and Perivascular Imaging Changes in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Peak‐width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and diffusion tensor imaging–analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS), reflecting white matter integrity and glymphatic function, are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

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

Symptomatic giant left atrial aneurysm in a child : a rare entity [PDF]

, 2010
Isolated left atrial aneurysms are rare entities in clinical practice. Usually the condition is diagnosed in the second to fourth decades of life. The presence of such lesions in the pediatric age group is scantily described.

History of Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion with AMPLATZER Devices. [PDF]

, 2018
AMPLATZER devices preceded WATCHMAN occluder in 2002 for catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion. The AMPLATZER technique facilitates simultaneous closure of atrial shunts using two devices through one gear.

Diffuse MRI Edema Predicts Relapse in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy–Related Inflammation

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify MRI predictors of relapse and quantify relapse and mortality risk in cerebral amyloid angiopathy–related inflammation (CAA‐RI). A secondary objective was to assess the association between mycophenolate mofetil use and relapse risk. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of 36 patients with CAA‐RI treated at 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.

Anticoagulation Treatment Response Among Phenotypic ESUS Clusters: Evidence From CASPR

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate treatment effect heterogeneity across phenotypic clusters of patients with cryptogenic embolic stroke using causal inference methods. Methods From a retrospective, multicenter cohort of patients with cryptogenic embolic stroke, we estimated the treatment effect of anticoagulation versus antiplatelet therapy in patients ...
