Journal ArticleDOI
MRI of Right Atrial Function after Catheter Ablation of Atrial Flutter
TL;DR: Scarring of the CTI with the use of catheter ablation leads to a significant and linear decrease in its length and to a subsequent reduction of right atrial volumes, whereas functional parameters such as stroke volume/ejection fraction did not change significantly.
Posted ContentDOI
Cardiac SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with distinct transcriptomic changes within the heart

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated heart tissue by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing in consecutive autopsy cases to quantify virus load and characterize cardiac involvement in COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Sex and Cardiovascular Risk Factors on Myocardial T1, Extracellular Volume Fraction, and T2 at 3 Tesla: Results From the Population-Based, Hamburg City Health Study
Ersin Cavus,Jan Schneider,R. bei der Kellen,Eleonora di Carluccio,Andreas Ziegler,Enver Tahir,Sebastian Bohnen,Maxim Avanesov,Ulf K Radunski,C. Chevalier,C. Jahnke,Francisco Ojeda,Paulus Kirchhof,Stefan Blankenberg,Gerhard Adam,Gunnar K. Lund,Kai Muellerleile +16 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that there is no need for specific reference intervals for myocardial T1 and ECV measurements in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors, however, hypertension should be considered as an additional factor for clinical application of T2 measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
My atrial fibrillation is not your atrial fibrillation.
TL;DR: Elevated diastolic blood pressure and an impaired fasting glucose were associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in this healthy Korean population, and the authors confirmed findings by others that a high body mass index (BMI) is associated with AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Questionable levels of evidence in new atrial fibrillation guidelines
A.J. Camm,Gyh Lip,R. De Caterina,Irene Savelieva,D. Atar,S.H. Hohnloser,G. Hindricks,Paulus Kirchhof +7 more
TL;DR: It is documented that AF recurs in up to 50% after 2 years, which is in line with other observational studies, and a recommendation is attributed to CA for paroxysmal AF in symptomatic drug-refractory patients.
