Left atrial appendage aneurysm with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Aneurysm of the left atrial appendage is extremely rare, and afflicted patients most commonly present with atrial tachyarrhythmia or thromboembolism. For these patients, resection of the aneurysm is the recommended and preferred therapy. We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who was found incidentally to have a large aneurysm of the left atrial appendage presenting as atrial fibrillation. ...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Enlargement as a Predictor of Silent Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and it may be symptomatic (manifest), or asymptomatic (silent). Silent AF is much more common than manifest AF. Both paroxysmal (PAF) and persistent AF confer a risk of embolic stroke. Increased left atrial (LA) size is associated with an increased prevalence of non-valvular AF and could be a predictor of stroke. Relationship betwee...
متن کاملDispersion of atrial repolarization in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
UNLABELLED To study the role of the dispersion of atrial repolarization (DAR) in the genesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), monophasic action potentials (MAP) were recorded simultaneously from a catheter at the high lateral right atrium (HLRA) and a catheter moving around the high, middle and low lateral right atrium (RA) the high, anterior and posterior septal RA and the RA appendage in 15 patie...
متن کاملCorrelation between left atrial appendage morphology and flow velocity in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
AIMS Reduction of left atrial appendage (LAA) flow velocity (FV) is a risk factor for thrombus formation and increases the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Furthermore, LAA morphology is correlated with stroke in patients with AF. The aim of this study was to correlate LAAFV with LAA morphology in patients with AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 96 patients (age 59.0 ...
متن کاملSignificant impairment of left atrial function in patients with cardioembolic stroke caused by paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE Patients with cardioembolic stroke (CE) caused by paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Paf) sometimes show normal sinus rhythm on admission, which makes it difficult to diagnose them as having CE. The present study examined the differences in echocardiographic findings between patients with CE caused by Paf (the Paf-CE group) and those with non-cardiogenic embolic ischemic stroke (the Non-...
