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

Atrial cardiomyopathy refers to structural and electrical remodelling of the atria, which can
lead to impaired mechanical function. While historical studies have implicated atrial …

Background Cardiac chamber remodeling in atrial fibrillation (AF) reflects the progression of
cardiac rhythm and may affect functional regurgitation. Objectives The purpose of this study …

Both left atrial and left ventricular functional parameters influence the prognosis of patients
with cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of a novel …

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 …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the association of baseline left atrial (LA) phasic
function measured with cardia magnetic resonance (CMR) and incident ischemic …

Background—The association of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) with liver fibrosis is poorly
understood. We aim to assess the association of liver fibrosis by T1-mapping magnetic …

Aims Left atrial enlargement predicts incident atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the prognostic
value of peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) for predicting incident AF in participants from …

Background Left atrial (LA) size, a marker of atrial structural remodeling, is associated with
increased risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). LA function may …

Objectives This study sought to investigate whether left atrial (LA) functional measures
predict atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population. Background Increasing evidence …
