    The associations of left atrial (LA) enlargement with chronic diastolic dysfunction1 and increased mortality in various cardiac conditions2,3 have long been recognized. However, the LA’s active and complex relationship with total cardiac performance has only more recently become appreciated. This issue of JASE includes four important papers on LA remodeling and mechanics.4-7

    Chronic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results in progressive right ventricular (RV) volume overload, followed by right-sided chamber dilatation, RV systolic dysfunction and eventual low-output cardiac failure. Severe TR is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, and yet until recently, patients in the late stage of their disease course had limited treatment options. Cognisant of the…

    Venous thromboembolism, including deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a major cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality, representing the third most common cardiovascular cause of death.1 Despite decreasing 30-day PE mortality rates, an estimated >5%-15% of patients will die within 30 days of receiving the diagnosis.2,3 Rapid diagnosis, risk stratification, and expedient…
