Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) but its impact is not ...

The Bainbridge reflex (aka, atrial reflex) occurs when the heart rate increases in response to a rise in atrial pressure. This is a compensatory mechanism since increased right atrial pressures ...

Table 2. Displacement of the Left Atrial Pressure–Monitoring Catheter Into the Right Atrium 1 Department of Anesthesiology, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases ...

As mitral stenosis progresses, increased left atrial pressure is required to maintain stroke volume. This pressure increase is generated primarily by the right heart and results in increased ...

Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is a common type of MR linked to high rates of heart failure, highlighting the need to understand its ...

The approach works by creating a connection between the left and right atrial chambers using a short pulse of energy to cut ...
