N2 - Background: Elevated mean right atrial pressure (RAP) measured by cardiac catheterization is an independent risk factor for mortality. Prior studies have demonstrated a modest correlation with invasive and noninvasive echocardiographic RAP, but the prognostic impact of estimated right atrial pressure (eRAP) has not been previously evaluated in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Methods: ...
We evaluated the relationship between susceptibility to arrhythmias caused by right atrial (RA) enlargement and alterations in transmembrane potentials and ultrastructure. RA enlargement was produced in eight dogs (TI) by excising the septal cusp of the tricuspid valve through a right atriotomy and constricting the pulmonary artery. This procedure resulted in RA dilation and hypertrophy. Four sham-operated dogs (S) also were studied. Neither TI nor S dogs developed spontaneous atrial arrhythmias. Atrial overdrive (OD) and premature stimulation (PS) were used to initiate and terminate arrhythmias. At 2 weeks and for 20 to 30 weeks after surgical preparation, TI dogs were more susceptible to arrhythmias than S dogs. The duration of arrhythmias exceeded 10 minutes more often in TI dogs than in S dogs. Sixty-one percent of all arrhythmias in the TI dogs had rates of 320-450 impulses/min, and electrogram and ECG characteristics of atrial flutter (type II rhythm), whereas no S dogs developed rhythms ...

The present study investigates for the first time the relationship of LA volumes and reservoir function with subclinical cerebrovascular disease. We demonstrated that greater LA volumes and smaller LA reservoir function are associated with SBI and WMHV. In addition, we showed that LAVmin is a stronger predictor of silent cerebrovascular lesions than the commonly used LAVmax, and that its significant association with subclinical brain disease persisted after controlling for potential confounders and risk factors.. The mechanisms linking an increase in LA volume with cerebrovascular disease are not completely understood, but it is reasonable to hypothesize that the mechanisms suggested for the relationship between LA size and stroke may, at least in part, apply to silent cerebrovascular disease as well. This is biologically plausible considering that: 1) subjects with subclinical brain lesions are more likely to experience an overt cerebrovascular event; and 2) subclinical and overt ...
Detecting left atrial enlargement is frequently suspected in line with the presentation of signs and symptoms of the underlying cardiogenic condition. Once other tests addressing other complications are carried out to assist eliminate any potentially existence-threatening disorders, additional testing searching in the structure from the heart can be achieved to find out if left atrial enlargement exists.. Probably the most generally done test to identify left atrial enlargement is applying imaging methods known as echocardiograms. To control your emotions by utilizing seem waves to consider images of the center structures. Using other imaging tests, namely CT or MRI scans, may also be used to identify left atrial enlargement.. With respect to the underlying condition, treatment will normally follow. For instance, treating high bloodstream pressure calls for the effective use of bloodstream pressure medication for example beta-blockers and diuretics. Also, maintaining a healthy diet plan, ...
This study aimed to assess the changes of RA function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using velocity vector imaging (VVI) and to evaluate the application of VVI technology. According to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), 71 patients with OSAS were divided into three groups: mild, moderate, and severe. A total of 30 cases of healthy subjects were enrolled as the control group. Digital images of apex four-chamber views were acquired to measure the right atrium (RA) linear dimensions and volume parameters including RA longitudinal diameter (RAL), transverse diameter (RAT), RA maximum volume (Vmax), RA minimum volume (Vmin), right atrial volume before contraction (Vpre). Right atrial volume parameters were corrected by body surface area (VImax, VImin, VIpre). The total right atrial emptying fraction (RATEF), right atrial passive emptying fraction (RAPEF), right atrial active contraction emptying fraction (RAAEF) were calculated. The VVI data measuring right atrial global strain (RA-GLS
We previously reported the use of a catheter system to damage the tricuspid valve and create infectious endocarditis (IE) in an animal model. The current study aims to create a faint IE model suitable for antibiotic prophylaxis using a low bacterial inoculum. We also aim to explore a way to quantitatively assess valvular impairment and to predict the success of the IE models during catheterization. Ninety rabbits were assigned to two groups according to the density of bacteria inoculated (1 × 105 CFU for Group A and 1 × 104 CFU for Group B). A catheter system consisting of a polyethylene catheter and a guide wire were used to damage the valve. The catheter system was passed through the rabbits tricuspid valves under echocardiographic guidance. A pressure transducer was used to assess right atrial pressure (PRA) before and just after valvular damage to calculate the pressure alterations (ΔPRA). The animals in group A and B were divided into 3 subgroups according to the ΔPRA (0-5 mmHg for Groups A1

The most common cause of RV failure is LV failure. In a sick patient, atrial flutter is definitely sufficient to result in elevated left sided pressures, with pulmonary edema and then subsequent right sided fluid overload. There are only 4 causes of LV failure: valve (valves were ok), systolic dysfct (it was good enough), diastolic dysfct (no evidence of this) and dysrhythmia (this was present). Turns out it had been present for a week, resulting in slow accumulation of fluid (this also explains the pleural effusions).. Delete ...

In patients with MS, several studies have demonstrated that LA enlargement is a marker of increased thromboembolic risk (4,6,7,9,11,25,26). However, the great majority of studies considered LA size or volume as an indicator of risk. This study aimed to look specifically at LA shape and not just LAVs and LA function in predicting stroke. As LA dilation may not occur in a uniform fashion, LA shape might be a better measure of the pattern of LA remodeling and a better predictor of embolic risk than absolute LAV.. The results of this study show that the atrial shape adds incremental value in predicting embolic events. Additionally, in agreement with a recently published study (27), we found that LA reservoir function was also associated with an increased risk for ECE. Although the LA has 3 major roles that affect LV filling, its reservoir function represents the most important component of the LA function in MS. LA contractile force cannot overcome the mechanical obstruction across the valve and ...

A cardiac function curve is a graph showing the relationship between right atrial pressure (x-axis) and cardiac output (y-axis). Superimposition of the cardiac function curve and venous return curve is used in one hemodynamic model. It shows a steep relationship at relatively low filling pressures and a plateau, where further stretch is not possible and so increases in pressure have little effect on output. The pressures where there is a steep relationship lie within the normal range of right atrial pressure (RAP) found in the healthy human during life. This range is about -1 to +2 mmHg. The higher pressures normally occur only in disease, in conditions such as heart failure, where the heart is unable to pump forward all the blood returning to it and so the pressure builds up in the right atrium and the great veins. Swollen neck veins are often an indicator of this type of heart failure. At low right atrial pressures this graph serves as a graphic demonstration of the Frank-Starling mechanism, ...

Study Design: We evaluated the presence of ALDAF in 457 fetal and 21 postnatal echocardiograms. The timing of ALDAF to the ventricular systolic Doppler recording (ALDAF-V) was compared with the mechanical atrioventricular interval and, in neonates, the electrical PR interval. Velocity time integrals of ALDAF and the ventricular systolic Doppler signals were measured, and the percent contribution of ALDAF was calculated. Results: ALDAF was ...
Establishing adequate venous access, in some cases through a central venous catheter, is essential to ensure ease of fluid replacement and adequate monitoring of the patient. In patients with ascites, the elderly patients, and those with associated medical conditions such as ischaemic heart disease, the right atrial pressure may not accurately reflect left sided heart pressures so fluid replacement should be monitored with a Swan- Ganz catheter.. Detailed attention to fluid replacement is important for any gastrointestinal bleed and even more so in patients with established chronic liver disease. These patients may have reduced vascular tone and fail to mobilise pooled venous blood from the splanchnic circulation.3Failure to achieve prompt volume replacement may jeopardise renal and hepatic function, a major factor in the morbidity and mortality associated with a variceal bleed.3It is equally important to avoid overfilling as this may precipitate rebleeding, so the right atrial pressure should ...

Randomized controlled trial of 433 patients at 26 sites randomized to receive therapy guided by clinical assessment and a PAC or clinical assessment alone. The target in both groups was resolution of clinical congestion, with additional PAC targets of a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 15 mm Hg and a right atrial pressure of 8 mm Hg. Medications were not specified, but inotrope use was explicitly discouraged. Results: PAC did not significantly affect the primary end point of days alive and out of the hospital during the first 6 months (p = 0.99), mortality (p = 0.35), or number of days hospitalized (p = 0.67). In-hospital adverse events were more common among patients in the PAC group (21.9% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.04), although there were no deaths related to PAC use.. ...

Central venous pressure (CVP) is the blood pressure in the venae cavae, near the right atrium of the heart. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood back into the arterial system. CVP is often a good approximation of right atrial pressure (RAP),[1] although the two terms are not identical, as a pressure differential can sometimes exist between the venae cavae and the right atrium. CVP and RAP can differ when arterial tone is altered. This can be graphically depicted as changes in the slope of the venous return plotted against right atrial pressure (where central venous pressure increases, but right atrial pressure stays the same; VR = CVP − RAP).. CVP has been, and often still is, used as a surrogate for preload, and changes in CVP in response to infusions of intravenous fluid have been used to predict volume-responsiveness (i.e. whether more fluid will improve cardiac output). However, there is increasing evidence that CVP, whether ...
title: Left atrial function assessed with Doppler echocardiography rather than left atrial volume predicts recurrence in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, doi: none, category: Thesis
Electrical conduction is very rapid and highly anisotropic in atrial fiber bundles, such as the crista terminalis. In contrast to left ventricular myocardium in which the ratio of longitudinal to transverse conduction velocities is approximately 3, propagation velocity in the crista terminalis is approximately 10 times greater in the longitudinal than in the transverse direction. To elucidate potential determinants of these distinct conduction properties, we characterized structural and molecular features of intercellular coupling in the crista terminalis and left ventricular myocardium of the canine heart. Analysis of the number and spatial orientation of myocyte interconnections at gap junctions revealed that a typical left ventricular myocyte was connected to 11.3 +/- 2.2 other myocytes. Approximately equal numbers of connections occurred between ventricular myocytes juxtaposed in side-to-side and end-to-end orientation. In contrast, a typical myocyte of the crista terminalis was connected to ...
