Atrial septal aneurysm means that there is a bulge in the interatrial septum. It may not present with symptoms. However, it can occur alongside other heart problems that cause symptoms such as ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) can arise from a range of genetic and physiological triggers, but the common denominator—elevated left atrial (LA) pressure—has spawned a host of ...

Transcatheter implants designed to alleviate high left atrial (LA) pressures — which, as a possible way to treat heart failure (HF) once seemed like a long shot — are emerging as new stars of heart ...

ATLANTA -- An interatrial shunt failed to provide a clinical benefit to people with heart failure (HF) overall in the RELIEVE-HF trial, though actual harm or benefit seemed to hinge on the patient's ...

Results from early clinical evaluation of the Alleviant System to treat heart failure patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF and HFrEF) was presented today as late-breaking ...

The septum of the heart is a wall of tissue that separates the left and right sides of the heart and enables blood to flow as it should. It consists of the atrial septum and the ventricular septum.

NEW ORLEANS, LA—A novel transcatheter intracardiac shunt device appears to provide sustained clinical benefit at 1 year in heart failure patients with preserved or only mildly reduced ejection ...

DEFECTS of the interauricular septum in the human being carry a variable prognosis. Small openings are known to be tolerated rather well through a long span of life. Large defects give left-to-right ...
