Abstract An 89-year-old female patient presented to our cardiology outpatient clinic complaining of shortness of breath and back pain. Chest X-ray demonstrated a widened mediastinum. Transthoracic echocardiography showed an ascending aortic aneurysm and the modified apical 5-chamber view showed that left...
Introdução: A avaliação sistemática das dimensões e da função das câmaras direitas, de acordo com sexo, idade, superfície
corporal e índice de massa corporal, não é uniformemente realizada.
Objetivo: Avaliar, ao ecocardiograma transtorácico, as dimensões e a função das câmaras direitas ...
BACKGROUND: Atrial myxomas are very infrequent primary bening cardiac neoplasms, being considered a rare but highly fatal cause of cerebral embolism. Objectives: We describe the case of an ischemic stroke (CVA) with hemorrhagic conversion secondary to atrila myxoma as an embolic source, and its subsequen...
ABSTRACT Background Left atrial (LA) enlargement is a reliable predictor of adverse cardiovascular events, and reduced atrial function is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with amyloidosis. The objective of this study was to characterize the LA function in Mexican patients with a conf...
Abstract Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication associated with undesirable outcomes; hence, the provision of appropriate tools is important to help identify patients at risk. Objectives: To evaluate the predictive capacity of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, a...
Abstract Introduction: Adrenocortical and renal cell carcinomas rarely invade the right atrium (RA). These neoplasms need surgical treatment, are very aggressive and have poor prognostic and surgical outcomes. Case series: We present a retrospective cohort of nine cases of RA invasion through the infer...

La dilatación de la aurícula izquierda (AI) se considera un predictor ecocardiográfico para la remodelación auricular y la fibrilación auricular. Por ende, hemos investigado la correlación existente entre la dilatación de la AI con las arritmias cardíacas y los trastornos del sistema de conducci...
The study is based on the fact that left atrial (LA) volume measurement is a marker of the presence of diastolic dysfunction and that Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with ventricular remodeling, worsening of left ventricular (LV) diastolic and systolic function, and activation of the renin-angiote...

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the factors impacting on the conversion to sinus rhythm and on the postoperative rhythm findings in the six-month follow-up period of a mitral valve surgery combined with cryoablation Cox-Maze III procedure, in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods: In this study, w...
