Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Atrial fibrillation (AF) carries out a 5-fold increase in stroke risk, related to embolization of thrombi clotting in left atrium (LA). Left atrial appendage (LAA) is the site with the highest blood stasis which causes thrombus formation.

Analysis of a coupled fluid‐structure interaction model of the left atrium and mitral valve
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2019 We present a coupled left atrium‐mitral valve model based on computed tomography scans with fibre‐reinforced hyperelastic materials. Fluid‐structure interaction is realised by using an immersed boundary‐finite element framework.

Thorax, 1970 Radiographic evidence of asymmetrical enlargement of the left atrium without atrial infarction is presented. Giant atrial enlargement is rarely symmetrical, the atrial appendage can contribute to the enlargement, and the giant atrium can be effectively trimmed.

JCI Insight, 2019 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and a major cause of stroke. Unfortunately, current therapies for AF are suboptimal, largely because the molecular mechanisms underlying AF are poorly understood.

Case Report: Double-Decker Repair of Partial Pulmonary Venous Return Into the Coronary Sinus
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 We present a case of persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) draining into the right atrium (RA) via the coronary sinus (CS), while the left superior pulmonary vein returns abnormally to the CS.

Morphology and morphometry of pulmonary veins and the left atrium in multi-slice computed tomography
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2019 PurposePulmonary veins are involved in pathogenesis and treatment of atrial fibrillation and structures at risk during thoracic surgeries. There is lack of data regarding pulmonary vein morphology and morphometry in normal population.MethodsThe study was

Anatomic Study of Number of Pulmonary Veins Draining into the Left Atrium and Their Variations
Journal of Medical Sciences and Health, 2020 Introduction: Pulmonary veins originate from the alveolar capillary plexus and carry oxygenated blood to the left atrium. The fibrous pericardium is perforated by the pulmonary veins and they drain separately in the posterosuperior aspect of the left ...
