The present review aimed to describe a case of massively dilated right atrium in a female patient presenting with valvular heart disease and no atrial fibrillation. The results of chest X-ray revealed a large opacity filling the lower right hemithorax, falsely interpreted as a mediastinal mass. During the tra...

A 53-year-old male patient was diagnosed with progressive dyspnoea after primary coronary intervention of circumflex lesion. Resuscitation was performed in the follow-up period due to the development of asystole. Control angiography showed patentstent without perforation signs and echocardiography revealed prominent compression of the left atrium by a periatrialmass. Magnetic resonance imaging ...

In blood-perfused isolated canine atrium preparations, single injections of dibutyryl cyclic AMP at a dose range of 1 to 30 mg were made into the cannulated sinus node artery. At doses above 3 mg, dibutyryl cyclic AMP induced a biphasic chronotropic and inotropic response; there was a slight and rapid negative chronotropic and inotropic response, followed by a long-lasting positive chronotropic...
