Importance: Patients with kidney failure (KF) receiving long-term dialysis have increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with KF and AF have increased risk of stroke, death, and bleeding compared with age-matched cohorts. In KF, the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) increases hemorrhage risk, offsetting potential benefits and making left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) a potentially promising solution for risk reduction in AF.

Background: Cardiac tumors are rare, with most being benign. Vascular cardiac tumors, such as hemangiomas, account for 1% to 2% of all cardiac tumors.

Case Summary: We present a case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with palpitations and shortness of breath.

Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Exercise-Induced Changes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.

JACC Cardiovasc Imaging

Department of Cardiology, Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg, Genk, Belgium; Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Hasselt University, Hasselt, Belgium. Electronic address:

Background: Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is prevalent among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and associated with adverse outcome, yet this bidirectional association remains underexplored.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the pathophysiological and prognostic significance of AFMR in HFpEF, both at rest and during exercise.

Methods: In this multicenter cohort study, consecutive patients with HFpEF underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing with echocardiography, with a particular focus on mitral regurgitation (MR) severity assessment in rest and during exercise.

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Patency After Device Closure Detected by Cardiac CT: A Meta-Analysis.

JACC Cardiovasc Imaging

September 2025

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Residual leaks are common after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO).

Objectives: The authors aimed to systematically evaluate the prognostic implications of residual left atrial appendage (LAA) patency and peridevice leaks (PDLs) detected by cardiac computed tomography (CT) following LAAO.

Methods: The authors used traditional meta-analytical methods and a Bayesian framework to assess the probability of increased risks associated with these residual leaks.

Allergic asthma is an inflammatory airway disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors and orchestrated by imbalance between T helper 1 cell (Th1) and two immune responses. Inflammation contributes to pathological changes and remodeling in tissues such as the vascular, lung, heart, and beds. The purpose for this study was to evaluate the effects of allergic asthma on heart pathology and remodeling.
