Left atrial cardiomyopathy (LACM) has been an ongoing focus of research for several years.
There is evidence that LACM is responsible for atrial fibrillation and embolic strokes of …

Aims The concept of “atrial cardiomyopathy”(AtCM) had been percolating through the
literature since its first mention in 1972. Since then, publications using the term were …

Interatrial block (IAB) is defined by the presence of a P-wave≥ 120 ms. Advanced IAB is
diagnosed when there is also a biphasic morphology in inferior leads. The cause of IAB is …

Background Interatrial block (IAB) is associated with thromboembolism and atrial
arrhythmias. However, prior studies included small patient cohorts so it remains unclear …

In this article, we will comment on new aspects of P‐wave morphology that help us to better
diagnose atrial blocks and atrial enlargement, and their clinical implications. These …

Background The association of electrocardiographic (ECG) markers of atrial cardiomyopathy
with heart failure (HF) and its subtypes is unclear. Methods This analysis included 6,754 …

Background Impaired cardiac function is associated with cognitive impairment and brain
imaging features of aging. Cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, are implicated in …

Background The patent foramen ovale (PFO) and interatrial block (IAB) are associated with
cryptogenic stroke (CS). However, the role of the interaction between PFO and IAB in CS …

Background and Objective: Interatrial block (IAB) is defined as a conduction delay between
the right and left atria. No data are available about the prevalence of both partial IAB and …

Internodal conduction pathways are the communication apparatus of the cardiac conduction
system conveying sinus node action potentials (APs) to the atrioventricular node and atrial …
