Enlarged left atrium and decreased left atrial strain are associated with atrial fibrillation in patients with hyperthyroidism irrespective of conventional risk factors
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with AF in patients with hyperthyroidism beyond heart failure (HF), coronary heart...

A Potential Novel Indication for Preventing Thromboembolism in Patients with Atrial Arrhythmias: Remodeling of the Left Atrium
ObjectiveThrombosis in patients with atrial arrhythmias might be associated with remodeling of the left atrium (LA). We aimed to describe this...

Anomalous atrium associated with persistent left superior vena cava
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common venous anomaly with an incidence of 0.3–0.5% in the general population. Here, we report...
