Abstract

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a rare, but increasingly recognized, anomalous developmental or neoplastic lesion of the heart. This entity was first described in 1964 at autopsy and is identified before death based on its distinctive characteristics on echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Although it is often asymptomatic, the mass has been associated with supraventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. In rare patients who experience intractable symptoms, surgical excision of the lesion may provide relief. Therefore, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is of interest to the pathologist when a cardiac mass is received for evaluation or at autopsy when a patient has experienced sudden death from an unknown cause.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
