Compensatory changes in atrial volumes with normal aging: is atrial enlargement inevitable?
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate left atrial volume and its changes with the phases (active and passive) of atrial filling, and to examine the effect of normal aging on these parameters and pulmonary vein (PV) flow patterns. BACKGROUND Atrial volume change with normal aging has not been adequately described. Pulmonary vein flow patterns have not been volumetrically evaluated i...

Diastolic dysfunction, often seen with increasing age, is associated with reduced exercise capacity and increased mortality. Mortality rates in older individuals are linked to the development of disability, which may be preceded by functional limitations.

Yurchak and co-workers5 described a patient who had systemic lupus manifested by malar rash, antinuclear antibodies, and LE cells at the time when constrictive pericarditis developed. However, he also had an atrial septal defect and rheuma...
