Apelin and heart remodeling in patients with abdominal obesity
To evaluate plasma concentration of apelin and its correlation with structural and functional heart parameters in patients with abdominal obesity. 93 patients with abdominal obesity (criteria IDF, 2005) and 21 healthy people at the ages from 25 to 57 ...

Duplication of Superior Vena Cava with Atrial Termination of Right Hepatic Vein in Tetralogy of Fallot: A Rare Association [PDF]
Anomalous hepatic venous drainage into the right atrium in association with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a rare presentation. Here, authors present a very interesting case of anomalous hepatic venous drainage into the right atrium.

Massively dilated right atrium masquerading as a mediastinal tumor
Severe tricuspid valve insufficiency causes right atrial dilatation, venous congestion, and reduced atrial contractility, and may eventually lead to right heart failure. We report a case of a patient with severe tricuspid valve insufficiency, right heart

Evidence that conflict regarding size of haemodynamic response to interventricular delay optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy may arise from differences in how atrioventricular delay is kept constant. [PDF]
Aims: Whether adjusting interventricular (VV) delay changes haemodynamic efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is controversial, with conflicting results.

Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 gene expression in canine heart [PDF]
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are archetypal pattern recognition receptors of immediate importance for an efficacious innate immune response. TLRs exhibit marked differential tissue activity and their levels within a discrete cell type can be highly dynamic.

Cor Triatriatum Dexter in a Male Cadaver [PDF]
Cor Triatriatum Dexter (CTD), is a very rare congenital anomaly in which right atrium is partitioned to form three chambered heart. It is caused by the persistence of the right valve of the sinus venosus.

A Rare Case of the Right Atrial Diverticulum Encroaching the Left Ventricle
Single diverticulum of the right atrium is a rare congenital malformation. We describe echocardiographic and computed tomography scan findings of a congenital right atrial diverticulum and its successful surgical resection in a 5-year-old boy.

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

Division of the Right Atrium [PDF]
A69-year-old diabetic man without previous cardiac history was admitted for stabilization of glycemic control. A routine ECG showed atrial fibrillation with right bundle-branch block, and the chest radiograph revealed marked prominence of the central pulmonary arteries.
