Determination of left atrial volume in healthy dogs and dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease
(2016-01-01)
The left atrial volume (LAV) can be obtained using the biplane Simpson's method via echocardiography. Although in medicine this parameter has been considered to be a prognostic marker of left atrial enlargement in several ...
Left Atrial Dysfunction Is a Predictor of Postcoronary Artery Bypass Atrial Fibrillation: Association of Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate Assessed by Speckle Tracking
(WILEY, 2011)
Background: Even though atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), its etiology remains poorly understood. Several factors are linked to postoperative AF (POAF), ...
Assessment of diastolic function and atrial remodeling by MRI – validation and correlation with echocardiography and filling pressure
(WileyAmerican Physiological Society, 2018-09-05)
Atrial fibrosis can be estimated noninvasively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), but diastolic dysfunction is clinically assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and ...
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Have a High Burden of Left Atrial Fibrosis by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(Elsevier, 2019)
Objectives: This study hypothesized that paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) reflects the presence of a more severe cardiac hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) phenotype. Background: HCM is characterized by myocyte hypertrophy, ...
The Aging Process of the Heart: Obesity Is the Main Risk Factor for Left Atrial Enlargement During Aging The MONICA/KORA (Monitoring of Trends and Determinations in Cardiovascular Disease/Cooperative Research in the Region of Augsburg) Study
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2009)
Objectives This prospective study evaluated the association of obesity and hypertension with left atrial (LA) volume over 10 years. Background Although left atrial enlargement (LAE) is an independent risk factor for atrial ...
