Disease relevance of Heart Atria

  • These results demonstrate that enhanced agonist-stimulated eicosanoid synthesis following rabbit left ventricular myocardial infarction occurs largely in the right atrium, and that this effect is independent of the activity of prostaglandin synthetic enzymes [1].
  • Progressive cardiac hypertrophy was accompanied by increased ANP mRNA prevalence throughout the heart and increased BNP mRNA in the left atrium [2].
  • Tumour thrombus into the vena cava or right atrium requires thoracotomy and hypothermic circulatory arrest for successful removal of the tumour, but should not be done if extensive nodal or frank metastatic disease is present [3].
  • We describe a case of Wilms' tumor in a 6-yr-old girl which extended from the right kidney and completely obstructed the inferior vena cava and hepatic veins to the level of the right atrium, producing an acute Budd-Chiari syndrome [4].
  • For every patient the efficacy of the treatment was evaluated by comparing control and posttherapeutic values after the bolus injection of 15,000 IU/kg body weight urokinase (urinary source) administered in 10 min in the right atrium, followed by continuous intravenous full-dose heparin therapy [5].
 

High impact information on Heart Atria

  • Volume expansion distends baroreceptors in the right atria, carotid-aortic sinuses, and kidney, altering afferent input to the brain stem and hence the hypothalamus, resulting in stimulation via ANPergic neurons in the hypothalamus of oxytocin release from the neurohypophysis that circulates to the right atrium to stimulate ANP release [6].
  • Three adults have had life-threatening perforations of the vena cava or right atrium associated with the use of subclavian hemodialysis catheters [7].
  • TIVCC resulted in marked activation of plasma AII and ET in plasma, right atrium, lung, and renal medulla which was further localized to cardiomyocytes, pulmonary, and renal epithelial cells [8].
  • Studies of exogenous arachidonate metabolism in microsomes prepared from various regions of the heart showed that while prostaglandin synthetic capacity is preferentially localized to the right atrium, right atria from normal and infarcted hearts have similar thromboxane and PGE2 synthetic capacity [1].
  • Injection of norepinephrine into the perfused lobar artery also increased pressure in the lobar artery and small vein but decreased pressure in the left atrium [9].

Gene context of Heart Atria

  • Changes in plasma ANP correlated with changes in ANP content in the right atrium, as demonstrated by RIA [29].
  • In adult rats ERbeta was decreased dramatically in the left atrium (20-fold) and, to a lesser extent in the other heart chambers (2- to 4-fold) [29].
  • The expression level of the MMP-9 was also higher in the PAF group than in the RSR group, however, the diameter of the left atrium was similar in both groups [30].
  • Through looping Pitx2 is present in the left atrium, in the ventral portion of the ventricles and in the left-ventral part of the outflow tract [31].
  • Corin mRNA expression was decreased in both atria in shunt animals [right atrium: control 0.638 +/- 0.004 arbitrary units (AU), shunt 0.566 +/- 0.014 AU, P < 0.001; left atrium: control 0.564 +/- 0.009 AU, shunt 0.464 +/- 0.009 AU, P < 0.001] [32].
