Device-Related Thrombus After Left Atrial Appendage Closure

, 2018
Background: In patients with atrial fibrillation, left atrial appendage closure with the Watchman device prevents thromboembolism from the left atrial appendage; however, thrombus may form on the left atrial face of the device ...

Anatomical Determinants of the Left Atrial Electrograms: Wall Thickness and Myocardial Fat Infiltration

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Electrogram peak‐to‐peak voltage depends on atrial wall structure and mapping configuration. We evaluated the relationship between computed tomography–derived atrial wall thickness, intramyocardial fat, myocardial muscle thickness, and electrogram voltage obtained with omnipolar, bipolar, and unipolar mapping.

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure with the Watchman device: a systematic review

Advances in Interventional Cardiology
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly observed arrhythmia in the world and its prevalence increases with age. The main and most severe complication of AF is ischemic stroke.

Impact of Ganglionated Plexus Ablation on Early Recurrence After Thoracoscopic Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the AFACT Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Adjunctive ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation did not reduce early AF recurrence after thoracoscopic AF ablation but was associated with a later first recurrence. In the GP‐ablation group, early recurrence was associated with late recurrence; this exploratory finding is compatible with, but does not establish, a greater contribution of pre‐existing ...

Pericardial Effusion After Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Timing, Predictors, and Clinical Impact. [PDF]

BACKGROUND Pericardial effusion (PE) is the most common serious left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) complication, but its mechanisms, time course, and prognostic impact are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the frequency,

Temporal Association Between Intrathoracic Impedance and Tachyarrhythmia Occurrence

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
A decrease in intrathoracic impedance is temporally associated with subsequent AF occurrence and, at the episode level, with a shorter time to VT. These findings suggest that daily intrathoracic impedance may provide information on short‐term changes preceding tachyarrhythmia occurrence.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...
