Changes in left atrial function in patients undergoing cardioversion for atrial fibrillation: relevance of left atrial strain in heart failure

, 2021
BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) reservoir strain provides prognostic information in patients with and without heart failure (HF), but might be altered by atrial fibrillation (AF).

A three-dimensional left atrial motion estimation from retrospective gated computed tomography: application in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundA reduced left atrial (LA) strain correlates with the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Conventional atrial strain analysis uses two-dimensional (2D) imaging, which is, however, limited by atrial foreshortening and an underestimation of ...

Assessment of Left Atrial Functions in Patients With Breast Cancer Receiving Trastuzumab and/or Chemotherapy [PDF]

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal
Background: Worldwide, more women will get breast cancer (BC) than any other type of cancer. The introduction of trastuzumab (TZ) to BC therapy has greatly improved the prognosis of women with HER2-positive cancer, whether it is adjuvant or metastatic.

Role of 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography in the assessment of left atrial function and its relation to the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with non-valvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Al-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal, 2020
Introduction The study aimed to evaluate the role of speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in the assessment of left atrial (LA) function and its relation to the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) compared with the gold standard ...

Genome Aging in Women: Hematopoietic Loss of X Chromosome as An Exemplar

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 11, November 2026.
As studies at the intersection of genetics and aging are rapidly advancing, genome aging provides a novel mechanism by which aging phenotypes occur. In this Review, the authors examine the rise, expansion, and the consequences of X chromosome loss in female blood cells.

Left atrial strain in patients after arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries

, 2023
Background: Left atrial (LA) strain, comprising LA reservoir, conduit and contractile function could add mechanistic information of patients after arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA).

Prognostic Value of Strain by Tissue Tracking Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Myocardial Infarction With Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Strain assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a key prognostic indicator in myocardial infarction. However, the strain characteristics and prognostic value in myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) with ...

Culture‐Negative Infective Endocarditis Presumed due to Brucella Causing Rapid Native Aortic Valve Destruction in a Young Adult: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Culture‐negative endocarditis with features consistent with Brucella can rapidly destroy a normal aortic valve in young adults. 2023 Duke‐ISCVID criteria (clinical/imaging findings plus histopathology), supported by serology and occupational exposure enabled urgent combined antimicrobial‐surgical management without culture confirmation ...

H2FPEF Score and Charlson Comorbidity Index as Independent Predictors of Cardiovascular Outcomes in Elderly Patients Undergoing Geriatric Rehabilitation

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 10, October 2026.
In older patients undergoing geriatric rehabilitation with preserved LVEF, a high H2FPEF score (≥6) independently predicted 1‐year death or cardiovascular rehospitalization. Combining H2FPEF with the Charlson comorbidity index identified a very‐high‐risk subgroup, with a 4.66‐fold higher risk of adverse outcomes.
