Anatomy: We aim to review the anatomy of the moderator band (MB) and the trabeculated right ventricle (RV).
Pathology: We thoroughly describe the morphological variations of the MB and its spatial relationship with the right ventricular anterior papillary muscle, its muscular trabeculations, and the free wall.
Imaging Correlation: We provide echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging to better understand histologic specimens of the MB, the trabeculated RV, and the right ventricular papillary muscles.

At the beginning of the 21st century, approximately 2.3 million US adults had atrial fibrillation (AF), and there has been a 60% increase in hospital admissions for AF. Given that the expectancy is a continuous increase in incidence, it portends a severe healthcare problem.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAtrial fibrillation (AF) causes progressive structural and electrical changes in the atria that can be summarized within the general concept of atrial remodeling. In parallel, other clinical characteristics and comorbidities may also affect atrial tissue properties and make the atria susceptible to AF initiation and its long-term persistence. Overall, pathological atrial changes lead to atrial cardiomyopathy with important implications for rhythm control.

- The study investigates the diagnostic role of cannon A waves, often linked to atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), in differentiating types of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs).
- Researchers included 100 patients and recorded their jugular venous pulse and central venous pressure (CVP) during an electrophysiology study, focusing on a comparison between short and long VA interval tachycardias.
- Results indicated that while cannon A waves were not significantly linked to AVNRT specifically, they strongly correlated with the diagnosis of short VA interval tachycardias, and there was a notable increase in CVP associated with these types of tachycardias.
