Background Ebstein’s anomaly (EA) exhibits significant anatomical and clinical heterogeneity, warranting a systematic ...

Because there’s a silver lining for most things in life, maybe there’s also one for ABC’s craven (if brief) suspension, under thuggish government pressure, of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show. To ...

MADRID -- Stopping oral anticoagulation after successful ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF, Afib) improved outcomes for patients without documented recurrence, the randomized ALONE-AF trial showed.

Introduction: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiac disease marked by abnormal ventricular hypertrophy. Recent studies have highlighted that left atrial (LA) ...

THE FIRST successful implantation of a helical-fixation leadless pacemaker (LP) in the subpulmonic morphologic left atrium has been performed in a patient with prior atrial switch for ...

ABSTRACT: This study examines hemodynamic behavior in particular cases of pulmonary hypertension without treatment. Pulmonary hypertension represents an anomalous hemodynamic state and is ...

While atrial fibrillation (AF) is a key risk factor for stroke, recent studies have suggested that atrial cardiomyopathy may also increase stroke risk in the absence of AF. This study aimed to ...

Adding prophylactic left atrial appendage (LAA) closure to planned cardiac surgery was linked to lower stroke risk for patients without atrial fibrillation (Afib, or AF), based on a meta-analysis.

Quantification of left atrial (LA) conduit function and its contribution to left ventricular (LV) filling is challenging because it requires simultaneous measurements of both LA and LV volumes. The ...

Some individuals who go to fitness centers for various purposes perform resistance exercise (RE) alone, while others engage in combined exercise (CE) by including cardio exercises along with RE.

Objectives: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have lower left atrial (LA) strain, which is a predictor for LA function. Here, we evaluated the prognostic value of LA strain to predict the rhythm ...
