Lipomatosis of interatrial septum is a rare benign disorder characterized by fat accumulation into interatrial septum. It may cause atrial arrhythmias and hemodynamic complications. For this reason, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of other cardiac masses. We report the typical case of lipomatosis of interatrial septum and atrial flutter.

Predicting Mortality and Hospitalization in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction by Using Machine Learning.
JACC Asia
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou, and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: Few studies have incorporated echocardiography and laboratory data to predict clinical outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Objectives: This study aimed to use machine learning to find predictors of heart failure (HF) hospitalization and cardiovascular (CV) death in HFpEF.
Methods: From the Chang Gung Research Database in Taiwan, 6,092 HFpEF patients (2,898 derivation, 3,194 validation) identified between 2008 and 2017 were followed until 2019.
Early Clinical Results for a New Self-Organizing Hybrid Fabric in Congenital Cardiac Surgery.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Osaka, Japan.
Background: We have developed a new hybrid warp-knit fabric for induction of in situ tissue regeneration that has shown appropriate antideterioration properties and expandability in preclinical studies. This study was performed to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of this fabric in the early postoperative period after congenital cardiac surgery.
Methods: The fabric comprises biodegradable (complete degradation period, 2-3 years) and nonbiodegradable yarns coated with cross-linked gelatin.
Incidentally Discovered Anomalous Mitral Chordae at the Time of Mitral Valve Repair.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
Anomalous supravalvular mitral chordae tendineae that originate from the mitral leaflet(s) and attach to the interatrial septum or dome of the left atrium are a rare congenital anomaly. These supravalvular chordae are often associated with severe mitral regurgitation and surgical experience has included resection of the anomalous chord as part of the repair. We describe an unusual presentation of an incidentally discovered anomalous supravalvular chord at the time of mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation related to a flail posterior leaflet.
