TLDR
In this article, the authors showed that CT can show detailed anatomy of the coronary sinus, including muscle connections and sinus function; compared with the normal group, the atrial fibrillation group showed no difference in muscle connections.Abstract:
Our study demonstrates that CT can show detailed anatomy of the coronary sinus, including muscle connections and coronary sinus function; compared with the normal group, the atrial fibrillation group showed no difference in muscle connections, although none of the patients with atrial fibrillation demonstrated coronary sinus contraction at atrial systole.read more

Coronary veins: comprehensive CT-anatomic classification and review of variants and clinical implications.
TL;DR: The authors describe the clinical implications of the different imaging techniques for assessment of the coronary veins, and underscore the particular role of CT venous mapping for cardiac interventions, especially for left ventricular pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy and in percutaneous mitral annuloplasty.

Non-invasive localization of atrial ectopic beats by using simulated body surface P-wave integral maps.

TL;DR: The proposed use of machine learning techniques to spatially cluster and classify ectopic atrial foci into clearly differentiated atrial regions by using the body surface P-wave integral map (BSPiM) as a biomarker suggests that an increase in the number of clusters is feasible at the cost of decreasing accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary venous anatomy and anomalies
TL;DR: With protocol optimization, including appropriate contrast bolus timing, coronary veins can be depicted with excellent detail on CT, and analysis of the coronary venous anatomy on CT can detect coronary Venous anomalies that cause right to left shunts with risk of stroke, left to right shunts, and arrhythmias.

TL;DR: A CSAP was identified in 171 of 480 patients undergoing ablation of a posteroseptal or left posterior AP and late activation at anular endocardial sites and the relationship to CS anatomy was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood Vessels and Myocardial Thickness within the Left Atrial Appendage Isthmus Line
TL;DR: The left circumflex coronary artery branches are the most frequently‐occurring vessels within the isthmus and are present in almost all cases, while the great cardiac vein is present in three quarters of hearts.

The surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation: III. Development of a definitive surgical procedure

TL;DR: Since September 1987, this surgical procedure has been applied in seven patients and all seven patients have been cured of atrial fibrillation and none is receiving any postoperative antiarrhythmic medications.

TL;DR: Although the average CT numbers obtained with different scanners were distributed widely, the calculated fat areas were almost identical, suggesting this method might be a practical and standardized method at CT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of abdominal fat content by computed tomography.
TL;DR: Results suggest that future CT studies of body composition can limit radiation exposure by using single scans at different anatomical sites, and suggest the level of the umbilicus may be the most useful, because it contains the largest percentage of fat in the body, and best allows differentiation of intraabdominal from subcutaneous fat.

The Anatomic Basis of Connections Between the Coronary Sinus Musculature and the Left Atrium in Humans
TL;DR: In the human heart, a consistent but morphologically variable left atrial coronary sinus myocardial connection was found, emphasizing the need for surgical dissection or catheter ablation in or around the coronary Sinus to eliminate these connections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vein of Marshall Cannulation for the Analysis of Electrical Activity in Patients With Focal Atrial Fibrillation
TL;DR: The characteristics of the double potentials within the VOM suggest that the second potential is from the muscle bundle (Marshall bundle) within the LOM, which may be the origin of focal AF in some patients.
