A Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملLeft atrial strain predicts recurrence of atrial arrhythmias after catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation
INTRODUCTION Success rates of catheter ablation (CA) of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) are very variable. Identifying patients in whom sinus rhythm maintenance cannot be achieved after CA is a critical issue. METHODS 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography was performed before the first CA procedure in consecutive patients with persistent AF. Left atrial (LA) strain was correlated with recu...
متن کاملMultimodality Cardiac Imaging for the Assessment of Left Atrial Function and the Association With Atrial Arrhythmias.
Several cardiac imaging modalities are able to visualize the left atrium (LA) and, therefore, allow for quantification of both structural and functional properties of this cardiac chamber. In echocardiography, only the maximal LA volume is included in the assessment of diastolic function at the current moment. Numerous studies, however, have shown that functional measures may be superior to the...
متن کاملImpact of left atrial fibrosis and left atrial size on the outcome of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) dilatation is an important risk factor for recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). However, the clinical applications to select patients eligible for RFCA according to LA size is limited. Additional pre-procedural assessment of LA fibrosis might improve patient selection for RFCA. OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of ...
متن کاملUnusual presentation of left atrial myxoma.
To cite: Gururani K, Kumar P. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016217089 DESCRIPTION A 48-year-old man was admitted with symptoms of low grade fever and lower limb paraesthesia of 5 months duration. He also gave history of bilateral femoral and left brachial embolectomy performed elsewhere 4 months back. Clinical examination was normal. Routine blo...
