How I do it: Minimally invasive Cox-Maze IV procedure [PDF]
, 2014 Clinical vignette Our patient is a 66-year-old female with a 2-year history of atrial fibrillation (AF) and mitral valve prolapse who presented with dyspnea on exertion. She was found to be in AF upon her admission electrocardiogram.

Prognostic value of echocardiographic indices of left atrial morphology and function in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease [PDF]
, 2018 Background: The prognostic relevance of left atrial (LA) morphological and functional variables, including those derived from speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), has been little investigated in veterinary medicine.

Mitral valve repair by Double Teflon technique: cardiac remodeling analysis by tridimensional echocardiography [PDF]
, 2010 INTRODUÇÃO: A plastia valvar mitral é o tratamento de escolha para a insuficiência mitral, porém a literatura é escassa em relação ao comportamento do átrio e ventrículo esquerdos após a plastia mitral sem utilização de anéis protéticos.

Left atrial size and contractile function in healthy dogs and dogs with chronic mitral valve disease
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira: In humans, left atrial enlargement and reduced contractile functions are associated with adverse cardiovascular events and a poor prognosis in many dilatation of the left atrium occurs with the gradual evolution of chronic mitral valve disease and is ...

Left atrial function: evaluation by strain analysis [PDF]
Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, 2018 The left atrium has an important role in modulating left ventricular filling and is an important biomarker of cardiovascular disease and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. While previously left atrial (LA) size was utilised, the role of LA function as a biomarker is increasingly being evaluated, both independently and also in combination with LA size ...

Left atrial anomalous muscular band as incidental finding during video-assisted mitral surgery [PDF]
, 2018 Congenital fibromuscular bands have been described inleft ventricle or right atrium and have been diagnosed by echocardiography and CT scan. The first report of anomalous band in the left atrium was described in 1897 by Rollestone (1).

Left Atrial Appendage Function and Stroke Risk [PDF]
Stroke, 2015 About 30% to 40% of ischemic stroke is of unknown cause.1,2 Recently, biomarkers of atrial dysfunction, or atrial cardiopathy, have been associated with embolic stroke risk even in the absence of atrial fibrillation (AF), suggesting that the presence of AF is not required for left atrial thromboembolism to occur.3 Most left atrial thrombi occur in the ...
