Circumferential Left Atrium Resection for Treating a Giant Left Atrium
An enlarged left atrium (LA) is a major risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after a maze operation.Between 2000 and 2009, 35 patients underwent circumferential left atrium resection (CLAR), during mitral valve surgery. All patients had continuous AF.Hospital mortalities occurred in two patients (5.7%). Postoperative bleeding occurred in

THE PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF LEFT ATRIAL PEAK RESERVOIR STRAIN IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IS DEPENDENT ON LEFT VENTRICULAR LONGITUDINAL FUNCTION AND LEFT ATRIAL SIZE [PDF]
Background— Peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) during the reservoir phase has been proposed as a measure of left atrium function in a range of cardiac conditions, with the potential for added pathophysiological insight and ...

“Left atrial myxoma - A tumor in transit”
Cardiac myxoma is the most common type of primary cardiac neoplasm. Over 70% of all cardiac myxomas originate from the left atrium (LA) and 18% from the right atrium (RA). Most myxomas present with constitutional, embolic, and obstructive manifestations.

In the context of chronic hyperglycemia, a DDR is initiated, leading to the pathological activation of DNA‐PKcs in the diabetic heart. This activated DNA‐PKcs directly interacts with and phosphorylates YAP1 at Thr226, thereby increasing the nuclear expression of YAP1.

Pyramid Network with Online Hard Example Mining for Accurate Left Atrium Segmentation [PDF]
Accurately segmenting left atrium in MR volume can benefit the ablation procedure of atrial fibrillation. Traditional automated solutions often fail in relieving experts from the labor-intensive manual labeling. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network based solution for automated left atrium segmentation in gadolinium-enhanced MR volumes with ...
