The study exposure was active cancer. The study outcome was atrial cardiopathy, defined as a left atrial volume index ≥35 mL/m 2 as determined by echocardiography. We used multivariable logistic ...

Background A 60-year-old male with obesity (body-mass index 43 kg/m 2) presented with recurrent symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), which he had had since age 41 years. The AF was refractory to ...

Furthermore, research has indicated that moderate physical activity can mitigate the increased risk of AF associated with left atrial enlargement, a known risk factor for AF[4]. This highlights ...

and left-sided heart lesions. We report a 58-year-old female diagnosed with NSML presenting with bilateral atrial and ventricular chamber enlargement and atrial fibrillation, which are uncommon ...

Similarly, an enlarged left atrium (atrial volume >29.0 ml/m 2 ... Atrial ectopic beats, inflammatory changes, atrial enlargement with dilatation and fibrosis and increased vagal tone have been ...

This is attested by shorter AF CL in the left atrium with a gradient LA-RA, the higher rate of AF termination in the LA. Mansour et al. (2001) analyzed left atrial and right atrial dominant ...

Typical findings in patients with ASD may include a prominent right ventricular impulse along the left sternal border ... A radiogram may show enlargement of the right chambers in the lateral ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequent in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis ... The increase in upstream pressure leads to progressive enlargement of the left atrium (LA) with an important ...

Of course, marked left atrial enlargement can also affect the recurrent laryngeal nerve and lead to hoarseness. 5. Although serum protein electrophoresis is a part of the laboratory workup for AL ...

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) can affect life expectancy due to factors that include age, underlying health conditions, race, and how this common cardiac arrhythmia—or abnormal heart rhythm— is treated.

The left atrium, on the other hand, is on the left side of the heart and collects and directs oxygenated blood to the body. The atrial septum separates the right and left atrium. Normally there is ...
