AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The case of a patient with congenital mitral stenosis successfully treated by insertion of a left atrial-left ventricular valved conduit is presented. After insertion of the conduit, pulmonary artery pressure was normal, persistent pulmonary edema and ascites disappeared, and the child's rate of growth and level of activities returned to normal.

Establishing normal values of left atrial (LA) phasic strains and strain rates is essential for distinguishing between normal and abnormal functions, determining the degree of abnormality, and understanding the clinical significance of reported values in pediatrics. This meta-analysis aimed to establish normal values of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE)-derived LA phasic strains and strain rates in the pediatric population and identify the sources of inter-study heterogeneity for these values. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases was conducted using keywords such as "left atrial/left atrium," "strain/speckle/deformation," and "echocardiography" combined with pediatric age categories.

The global incidence of pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rising, and it is linked to various potentially dangerous complications such as cardiovascular complications, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial electromechanical conduction delay (EMD) has been reported as an early predictor for AF development. This study aimed to explore the link between NAFLD and the increased risk of AF development.

Objective: To explore the clinical value of 3D Echocardiography (3DE) in evaluating the changes of left atrial volume and pulmonary vein structure in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF).
Methods: Clinical data were collected from 54 AF patients. Left Atrial Anteroposterior Diameter (LADap), Left Atrial left and right Diameter (LADml), and Left Atrial upper and lower Diameter (LADsi) were measured; the maximum Left Atrial Volume (LAVmax), minimum Left Atrial Volume (LAVmin), left atrial presystolic volume (LAVpre), and Cross-Sectional Area (CSA) of each pulmonary vein were analyzed.

Background: Although diastolic dysfunction is the main pathophysiological feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), it remains to be clarified whether parameters of diastolic function can reliably determine HCM prognosis. In patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) distensibility, chronic elevation of LV diastolic pressure is seen with a smaller than expected LV size. Accordingly, patients with HCM with severe LV diastolic dysfunction typically demonstrate left atrial (LA) dilation and a disproportionately smaller left ventricle.

Background: This paper aimed to appraise the diagnostic precision of assorted methodologies to identify left atrial/left atrial appendage (LA/LAA) thrombus through a network meta-assessment.
Methods: Methodologically, we conducted a comprehensive literature search across multiple databases. Utilizing the risk of bias tool from the Cochrane Collaboration, methodological quality of included studies was critically assessed and potential publication bias was examined via funnel plots.
