Effects of aging and ouabain on left atrial arrhythmogenicity.
OBJECTIVES Aging increases atrial fibrillation (AF) vulnerability. The left atrium (LA) is important for the generation of AF. However, the effect of aging on the electrophysiological properties of the LA in general, on the specific LA sites, and of possible accentuation of regional differences between the LA sites with aging is not clear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects o...
متن کاملMechanical Discordance between Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage
During standard transesophageal echocardiographic examinations in sinus rhythm (SR) patients, the left atrial appendage (LAA) is not routinely assessed with Doppler. Despite having a SR, it is still possible to have irregular activity in the LAA. This situation is even more important for SR patients where assessment of the left atrium is often foregone. We describe a case where we encountered t...
متن کاملLeft atrium segmentation for atrial fibrillation ablation
Segmentation of the left atrium is vital for pre-operative assessment of its anatomy in radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) surgery. RFCA is commonly used for treating atrial fibrillation. In this paper we present an semi-automatic approach for segmenting the left atrium and the pulmonary veins from MR angiography (MRA) data sets. We also present an automatic approach for further subdividi...
متن کاملMurine Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage Structure and Function: Echocardiographic and Morphologic Evaluation
Aim of this study was to provide an echocardiographic protocol for the description of the normal murine venous reservoir (atrium, appendage and pulmonary veins) and to investigate the possibility to use this approach to discriminate changes on left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) in a stress-induced model such us myocardial infarction. Global left ventricular function and the venous...
متن کاملEffect of left atrial plication for the giant left atrium on left ventricular function.
Left atrial plication (LAP) following Kawazoe's method was performed on eight patients with mitral valve stenosis associated with a giant left atrium. To investigate the effect of LAP particularly on left ventricular function, the preoperative and postoperative left ventricular function in these patients were compared. The data were also compared to that of the non-left atrial plication (non-LA...
