Disease relevance of Atrial Function, Left

Relationship between left atrial function and plasma level of atrial natriuretic peptide in patients with heart disease [1].

High impact information on Atrial Function, Left

Changes in left ventricular filling and left atrial function six months after nonsurgical septal reduction therapy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy [2].
Dogs received 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 minimum alveolar concentration desflurane, sevoflurane, or isoflurane in a random manner, and left atrial function was determined after 20-min equilibration at each dose [3].
Propofol alters left atrial function evaluated with pressure-volume relations in vivo [4].
Left atrial function and atrial natriuretic factor/cyclic guanosine monophosphate changes in DDD and VVI pacing modes [5].
Effects of digoxin on left atrial function in heart failure [6].

Biological context of Atrial Function, Left

The author noninvasively examined effects of thyroid hormone on left atrial function by using the left atrial systolic time intervals (LASTI) with its parameters as left atrial ejection time (LAET), left atrial preejection period (LAPEP), and LAET/LAPEP, as measured by pulsed Doppler echocardiography [7].

Anatomical context of Atrial Function, Left

Influence of left atrial function on Doppler transmitral and pulmonary venous flow patterns in dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: evaluation of left atrial appendage function by transesophageal echocardiography [8].

Associations of Atrial Function, Left with chemical compounds

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a short episode of AF affects left atrial function and whether verapamil modifies this effect [9].
