Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2012 This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

Left Atrial Relaxation and Left Ventricular Systolic Function Determine Left Atrial Reservoir Function [PDF]
Circulation, 1999 Background —Determinants of left atrial (LA) reservoir function and its influence on left ventricular (LV) function have not been quantified. Methods and Results —In an open-pericardium, paced (70 and 90 bpm) pig model of LV regional ischemia (left anterior descending coronary ...

Atrial fibrillation and left atrial size and function: a Mendelian randomization study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) patients have enlarged left atria (LA), but prior studies suggested enlarged atria as both cause and consequence of AF. The aim of this study is to investigate the causal association between AF and LA size and function.

Post-operative atrial fibrillation is influenced by beta-blocker therapy but not by pre-operative atrial cellular electrophysiology [PDF]
, 2006 We investigated whether post-cardiac surgery (CS) new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is predicted by pre-CS atrial cellular electrophysiology, and whether the antiarrhythmic effect of beta-blocker therapy may involve pre-CS pharmacological remodeling ...

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy and Left Atrial Remodeling: A Novel Insight?
Biomedicines, 2023 Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) restores ventricular dyssynchrony, improving left ventricle (LV) systolic function, symptoms, and outcome in patients with heart failure, systolic dysfunction, and prolonged QRS interval. The left atrium (LA) plays

Systematic Analysis of Gene Expression Differences between Left and Right Atria in Different Mouse Strains and in Human Atrial Tissue [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Normal development of the atria requires left-right differentiation during embryonic development. Reduced expression of Pitx2c (paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2, isoform c), a key regulator of left-right asymmetry, has recently ...

Left atrial size in patients with arterial hypertension [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2006 INTRODUCTION Left atrial size is increased in patients with arterial hypertension. Left atrial enlargement represents a risk factor of atrial fibrillation and stroke. Left atrial size depends on the effect of many other etiological factors, predominantly

A case of left atrial myxoma accompanied by pancytopenia and pathological findings suggestive of pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
, 1974 A case of left atrial myxoma accompanied by peculiar symptoms is reported. A 15-year old boy had progressive congestive heart failure and three episodes of acute attacks of panctyopenia. The anemia was accompanied by helmet-shaped, broken red blood cells,
