Reduction in atrial and pulmonary vein stretch as a therapeutic target for prevention of atrial fibrillation
2023, Heart RhythmCitation Excerpt :A correlation between the LA size and the incidence and complexity of atrial arrhythmias exists in an asymptomatic elderly population.22 Large atria are associated with a lower success rate of pharmacological and electrical cardioversion as well as ablation therapy in patients with AF.15–17 Similarly, a high LA pressure, a high LA wall stress, and a high plasma level of natriuretic peptides (secreted after stretch) each predict AF recurrence after ablation therapy.12–14
The mechanical fibrillation pattern of the atrial myocardium is associated with acute and long-term success of electrical cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation
2014, Heart RhythmCitation Excerpt :Therefore, we believe that the AFV-tvi measured in the right atrium has the highest intrinsic predictive power regarding immediate success of ECV. The most consistent clinical predictors of successful ECV were a short duration of the AF episode, younger age, a small atrial size, and the use of antiarrhythmic drugs or β-blockers.16–20 There is increasing evidence that AF is associated with inflammation, which might be reduced by statins.21

2010, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :The LA can act to increase LA pressure (in significant atrial disease) and can react to increased LV filling pressure (in significant ventricular disease). There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that LA enlargement is a marker of significant atrial22 or ventricular disease.23,24 In patients with HCM, the enlargement of the LA has proved to be inconsistently related to LV diastolic dysfunction, mitral regurgitation degree, or LV dynamic outflow tract obstruction.25
