People with a condition in which protein build up stiffens heart walls – called transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy – were ...

Background The life-long exposure of the left heart chambers to systemic blood pressures may be important to changes in left atrial (LA) function with age, but long-term follow-up studies are scarce.

Left atrial appendage occlusion might be a treatment option for patients on dialysis with atrial fibrillation. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) placement is associated with a reduced risk for ...

Background In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), elevated mean left atrial pressure (MLAP) is a recognised haemodynamic feature. This pilot study explored the use of a ...

Abstract: Objective: We present a new algorithm to automatically convert 3-dimensional left atrium surface meshes into a standard 2-dimensional space: a Left Atrial Positioning System (LAPS). Methods: ...

1. In this randomized trial, left atrial appendage closure was associated with lower bleeding than oral anticoagulation in patients who underwent catheter-based atrial fibrillation ablation. 2. Left ...

A blood pressure calculator is a simple yet powerful tool that helps you better understand your readings, track patterns over time, and take meaningful steps toward protecting your heart health. Blood ...

Objective Our objective was to evaluate the effects of long-term reduced training on the left atrium (LA) in elite endurance athletes and to elucidate sex-specific differences in LA detraining ...
