Left atrial appendage closure increases acute atrial pressure without long-term structural impact. Learn more about these ...

Phase II ARCHER trial showed a significant reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass (p=0.0117) and improvements in multiple key cardiac MRI (CMR) measures of structural heart recovery in patients with ...

MADRID -- Stopping oral anticoagulation after successful ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF, Afib) improved outcomes for patients without documented recurrence, the randomized ALONE-AF trial showed.

Introduction: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiac disease marked by abnormal ventricular hypertrophy. Recent studies have highlighted that left atrial (LA) ...

SAN DIEGO, CA—Emerging evidence is creating a fuller picture of the safety of pulsed-field ablation (PFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF), bringing into focus a risk profile that differs from other ...

THE FIRST successful implantation of a helical-fixation leadless pacemaker (LP) in the subpulmonic morphologic left atrium has been performed in a patient with prior atrial switch for ...

ABSTRACT: This study examines hemodynamic behavior in particular cases of pulmonary hypertension without treatment. Pulmonary hypertension represents an anomalous hemodynamic state and is ...

Adding prophylactic left atrial appendage (LAA) closure to planned cardiac surgery was linked to lower stroke risk for patients without atrial fibrillation (Afib, or AF), based on a meta-analysis.
