Does left atrial deformation predict success of first and second percutaneous atrial fibrillation ablation?
LA myocardial deformation imaging is a reliable tool for predicting success after a first and a second RFCA. These parameters could improve candidate selection, especially for a second RFCA.
GPR39 is expressed in human adipose tissue. The reduced expression levels of GPR39 in omental adipose tissue observed in obese patients with T2DM suggest an involvement of obestatin signalling in glucose homeostasis and T2DM development.
