The relationship between anatomy and function has long been recognised. Understanding
the gross structure, and the myoarchitecture, of the atriums is fundamental to investigations …

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a finger-like extension originating from the main body of
the left atrium. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically important cardiac …

Although the substrates of atrial fibrillation, its initiation and maintenance, remain to be fully
elucidated, catheter ablation in the left atrium has become a therapeutic option for patients …

ESC Guidelines 2372 levels, once the guidelines have been endorsed by the ESC member
societies, and translated into the national language. Implementation programmes are …

Supraventricular arrhythmias are common and patients are often symptomatic, requiring
management with drugs and electrophysiological procedures. The ESC published …

Objectives: We sought to investigate the electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics for
guiding catheter ablation in patients with repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia …

The atria provide an important contribution to cardiac function. 1, 2 Besides their impact on
ventricular filling, they serve as a volume reservoir, host pacemaker cells and important parts …

Background—Late morbidity and mortality remain problematic after repair of tetralogy of
Fallot (TOF). We hypothesized that fibrosis detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) …

Transgenic technology has potentially solved many of the immunological difficulties of using
pig organs to support life in the human recipient. Nevertheless, other problems still remain …

In children with structurally normal hearts, the mechanisms of arrhythmias are usually the
same as in the adult patient. Some arrhythmias are particularly associated with young age …
