MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory molecules post-transcriptionally suppressing
mRNA activity. Many miRNAs in various organisms have been cloned but many unknown …

Defining left atrial (LA) function has recently emerged as a powerful parameter, particularly
in evaluation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and heart failure with …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, currently affecting over 33
million individuals worldwide, and its prevalence is expected to more than double over the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the commonest arrhythmia, shows associations with various disease
conditions. Mounting evidence indicates that atrial fibrosis is an important part of the …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the association of baseline left atrial (LA) phasic

Modern anticoagulation therapy has dramatically reduced the risk of stroke and systemic
thromboembolism in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, AF still impairs quality of …

Heart failure (HF) is a major disease in our society that often presents with multiple
comorbidities with mutual interaction and aggravation. The comorbidity of HF and stroke is a …

The right atrium (RA) is the cardiac chamber that has been least well studied. Due to recent
