Atrial fibrillation is initiated by triggers in combination with
underlying atrial substrate. Horizons in World Cardiovascular
Research. Volume 17 discusses how innovations in cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging techniques, especially late gadolinium
enhancement imaging, have advanced our ability to better understand
and accurately identify fibrosis in the atrial myocardium of atrial
fibrillation patients. According to the nephron number hypothesis,
individuals born with kidneys with fewer nephrons would be at
increased risk for hypertension and renal disease later in life.
Evidence supporting a role for preterm birth itself as a
programming risk factor come from observations demonstrating that
the degree of prematurity impacts the severity of hypertension or
renal dysfunction observed later in life, indicating a
dose-response effect of preterm birth. As such, the authors review
this effect in the context of consequences for the mother after
pregnancy as well as individuals born during premature labor. This
compilation goes on to discuss venous thromboembolism, a spectrum
of disease that includes both deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary
embolism. Venous thromboembolism affects 950,000 patients every
year and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare clinical entity
resulting in partial or complete duodenal obstruction due to
compression of the third part of the duodenum. Symptoms will vary
depending on the severity, but can be very debilitating. The
authors discuss the diagnosis of this rare condition, as well as
treatment options. Next, the surgical anatomy of the superior
mesenteric artery is schematized through a subdivision in three
segments, each with a different method for surgical dissection, for
a better understanding of its surgical anatomy. The final chapter
focuses on the current development of zebrafish models for the
screening for cardiotoxic and cardioprotective agents. The
administration of endocrine disruptors, cigarette smoke,
acrylamide, phthalates and phosphate, heavy metals, inoculation
infectious agent, alcohol, surgery and laser light radiations are
the major cause of cardiotoxicity in zebrafish.
