Lateral Atrial Expression Patterns Provide Insights into Local Transcription Disequilibrium Contributing to Disease Susceptibility.

Circ Genom Precis Med

February 2025

CARIM School for Cardiovascular Diseases (A.I., S.Z., J.W., B.B., H.J.G.M.C., B.H., M.K., S.V., U.S., M.S.), Maastricht University, the Netherlands.

Background: Transcriptional dysregulation, possibly affected by genetic variation, contributes to disease etiology. Due to dissimilarities in development, function, and remodeling during disease progression, transcriptional differences between the left atrium (LA) and right atrium (RA) may provide insight into diseases such as atrial fibrillation.

Methods: Lateral differences in atrial transcription were evaluated in CATCH ME (Characterizing Atrial fibrillation by Translating its Causes into Health Modifiers in the Elderly) using a 2-stage discovery and replication design.

Perioperative outcome of left atrial appendage amputation in coronary artery bypass grafting.

Clin Res Cardiol

September 2024

Clinic for General and Interventional Cardiology/Angiology, Herz- Und Diabeteszentrum NRW, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Med. Fakultät OWL (Universität Bielefeld), Georgstraße 11, 32545, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.

Background: Left atrial appendage (LAA) amputation performed alongside cardiac surgery has become an increasingly established procedure to reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. As the recommendation levels for LAA amputation continue to rise, ample evidence assessing its perioperative safety and risk factors is of utmost interest.

Methods: All patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) between 2018 and 2021 at two high-volume centers were retrospectively included in the study.

Introduction: Improved sinus rhythm (SR) maintenance rates have been achieved in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing pulmonary vein isolation plus additional ablation of low voltage substrate (LVS) during SR. However, voltage mapping during SR may be hindered in persistent and long-persistent AF patients by immediate AF recurrence after electrical cardioversion. We assess correlations between LVS extent and location during SR and AF, aiming to identify regional voltage thresholds for rhythm-independent delineation/detection of LVS areas.

Wake-up stroke (WUS) comprises a significant proportion of ischemic strokes. However, due to unclear onset, these patients are often not considered for reperfusion therapy. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical and imaging differences between WUS patients and those with clear-onset stroke, documenting any sex, age, or risk factor predilection for WUS.

Background: The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD-Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) is a worldwide non-interventional study of stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF.

Methods And Results: 52,080 patients with newly diagnosed AF were prospectively enrolled from 2010 to 2016. 4121 (7.
