DOI: 10.1093/ajh/hpy029
Abstract: BACKGROUND Obese persons have lower circulating natriuretic peptide (NP) concentrations. It has been proposed that this natriuretic handicap plays a role in obesity-related hypertension. In contrast, hypertensive patients with left atrial enlargement have higher circulating… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/echo.14680
Abstract: Atrial dilatation is common but of unclear physiologic significance in high‐performance athletes. Myocardial deformation analysis utilizing speckle‐tracking echocardiography has emerged as a promising tool to evaluate atrial function. In a cohort of elite basketball players… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circep.117.005959
Abstract: Background: The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in active astronauts is ≈5%, similar to the general population but at a younger age. Risk factors for AF include left atrial enlargement, increased number of premature atrial… read more here.

DOI: 10.5830/cvja-2019-046
Abstract: BACKGROUND Left atrial remodelling (LAR) has been described in Western populations with chronic hypertension and is associated with a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Although hypertension tends to occur earlier and is more severe… read more here.
