Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Atrial Septum & Lipoma The interatrial septum largely consists of an invagination of the atrial roof and contains epicardial fat. This fat is the source of the entity ...

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a commonly reported complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is considered the most frequently encountered supraventricular arrhythmia in ...

In the presence of heart failure or hypertension with LV hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction, the intra-atrial pressure is increased. The resulting activation of atrial stretch receptors induces ...

Design A review of the literature of AF in athletes is presented. AF may be due to sympathetic activity, volume load during exercise, vagotonia at rest but also atrial hypertrophy and dilatation.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood against your artery walls is ...

Specialized cardiovascular surgery centers in the city provide high-tech care for children suffering from any variety ...

Previous knowledge on melatonin use for pulmonary arterial hypertension has primarily been gathered from animal studies, with ...

Dapagliflozin reduced the risk of all-cause mortality or worsening heart failure by 28% in patients with aortic stenosis ...

The exact mechanism is unclear but it may be due to atrial enlargement with dilation and fibrosis plus a contribution from increased vagal tone and bradycardia. The condition presented dramatically ...

Objectives This study tested whether cardiac sympathetic innervation assessed by metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) activity has long-term prognostic value in combination with left ventricular hypertrophy ...

Conclusions —The present study demonstrates that both atrium and ventricle synthesize CT-1 and that cardiac production of CT-1 is augmented in a canine model of experimental CHF. This study also ...
