Background: Occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is thought to reduce the risk of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation. Objective: To examine the LAA and its relationship ...

Kolkata: Eastern India's first-ever case of Bachmann's Bundle (BB) Pacing and Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP), a dual strategy that mimics the .

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of whether dyspnea has a cardiac cause is essential. Guidelines from 2016 were reported to result in a high incidence of indeterminate left ventricular (LV) filling pressure. We ...

In a landmark achievement that puts Eastern India on the global map of cardiac innovation, Dr. Dilip Kumar,Director of the ...

Background and objective Prior studies have suggested that patients with premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) may have an ...

THE most common sustained heart irregularity is atrial fibrillation (A-Fib), where the atria (upper chambers of the heart} ...

The TEER procedure is highly recommended for patients who are considered high surgical risk due to pre-existing issues like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, advanced age, physical frailty, enlarged or ...

Middle-aged and old left ventricles (LVs) are structurally and functionally very similar. Compared to a young LV, both show increased wall thickness and increased cavity size, with preserved cardiac ...

Left atrial (LA) strain, a powerful parameter for assessing LA function, is underused in routine clinical practice because it requires expertise and time. The novel semi-automated method for the ...

This study aims to extract the interior surface of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary veins (PVs) from three dimensional tomographic data and to integrate it with LA CARTO electrical maps. The ...

A fully automated approach to segmentation of the left and right cardiac ventricles from magnetic resonance (MR) images is reported. A novel multistage hybrid appearance model methodology is presented ...

BACKGROUND: Severe functional mitral regurgitation (fMR) is a heterogenous disease that exhibits different underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and represents independent entities. The aim of this ...
