Background: Cancer is associated with an increased risk for atrial fibrillation. However, there are no existing data supporting an independent relationship between cancer and atrial cardiopathy, ...

Left-ventricular, right-ventricular and right-atrial size and systolic function were normal on echocardiography; left-ventricular ejection fraction was 60% and mild left-ventricular hypertrophy ...

Atrial ectopic beats, inflammatory changes, changes in electrolytes, atrial enlargement with dilatation and fibrosis and increased vagal tone and bradycardia, among others, have been proposed as ...

They also had significant ECG evidence of prior myocardial ischaemia, intraventricular conduction disorder, abnormal axis, ventricular hypertrophy and atrial fibrillation. Using the ECG evidence of ...

The right atrium is one of the heart's upper chambers that plays a role in blood circulation. It collects deoxygenated blood and directs it on a pathway to get oxygen from the lungs. Problems with the ...

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 ...

Binge drinking and possibly, moderate alcohol intake, may trigger atrial fibrillation. Caffeine intake does not appear to be a trigger; although, some doctors still recommend that patients with atrial ...

We report a 58-year-old female diagnosed with NSML presenting with bilateral atrial and ventricular chamber enlargement and atrial fibrillation, which are uncommon cardiac phenotypes of NSML. A ...

P area and signal-averaged P wave late atrial potential are strong predictors of AF incidence and possibly of stroke incidence. ECG left ventricular hypertrophy is strongly associated with stroke ...

The increase in upstream pressure leads to progressive enlargement of the left atrium (LA) with an important individual variability. The geometric pattern of LA enlargement is inhomogeneous, which ...
