Known for the pathological connection to atrial fibrillation (AF), the left atrial appendage
(LAA) is the most common source of thromboembolism in patients with AF and may be an …

For many years, the left atrial appendage (LAA) was considered a dormant embryological
remnant; however, it is a structurally complex and functional organ that contributes to cardiac …

Background: The impact of left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion, comparing an epicardial
LAA or an endocardial LAA device, on systemic homeostasis remains unknown. Objectives …

Purpose of review The purpose of this review is to describe ways in which metabolomics
may enhance understanding of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) etiology and refine …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis of the
left atrial appendage (LAA). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this site …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia with an estimated prevalence of 1% in
the general population. It is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, silent …

Background: Although the safety and efficacy of left atrial (LA) appendage (LAA) closure
(LAAC) in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients have been well documented in …

Introduction The effect of epicardial left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion therapy on lipid
and glucose metabolism in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients over the long‐term follow‐up are …

In patients with atrial fibrillation, the left atrial appendage may serve as the site of thrombus
formation due to stasis that occurs within the appendage because of its shape and …

The left atrial appendage (LAA) has a key role in the embolic complications of atrial
fibrillation (AF). It has been studied extensively, from recent interest in the thrombotic …
