Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage in a 60-year-old woman diagnosed in an ECG-gated multidetector computed tomography : a case report and review of literature [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage (TAPVD) is a congenital cardiac defect in which there is no connection between pulmonary veins and the left atrium.

Giant left atrium calcification [PDF]
Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2015 revealed an unusual pattern of curvilinear cardiac calcification (Fig. 1). Computed tomography showed a giant left atrium with calcification (Fig. 2). Rheumatic heart disease, often neglected by media and policy makers, is a major burden in developing countries. There are about 2.5 million people with rheumatic heart disease in China [1].

Interatrial shunt devices for heart failure with normal ejection fraction: a technology update [PDF]
, 2017 Heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HeFNEF) accounts for ~50% of heart failure admissions. Its pathophysiology and diagnostic criteria are yet to be defined clearly which may hinder the search for effective treatments.

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.

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.

Fetal heterotaxy with tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, and isomerism of the right atrial appendages at 22 weeks. [PDF]
, 2013 We report the accurate prenatal diagnosis at 22 weeks gestation of right atrial isomerism in association with tricuspid atresia. Several distinctive sonographic features of isomerism of the right atrial appendages were present in this fetus: complex ...

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.

Principal component analysis of atrial fibrillation: Inclusion of posterior ECG leads does not improve correlation with left atrial activity [PDF]
, 2015 Background Lead V? is routinely analysed due to its large amplitude AF waveform. V? correlates strongly with right atrial activity but only moderately with left atrial activity. Posterior lead V? correlates strongest with left atrial activity.
