Po-01-087 a rare case of bi-atrial fdg-uptake: presenting as new onset atrial fibrillation
Isolated atrial myocarditis is rare, with presenting symptoms that are non-specific. Prior reports have suggested association with atrial arrythmias and increased risk of stroke due to atrial dysfunction. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) CT scan is considered as a goal standard test for the diagnosis of myocarditis.

Po-697-02 impact of left atrial appendage stump on arrhythmogenicity and stroke risk after atri-clip in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation
Surgical left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with an atrial clip (Atricure) is frequently performed for stroke prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Scant data exist for arrhythmogenicity and thromboembolic risk with the residual LAA stump.

Po-644-03 impact of pre-procedural planning with a novel cardiac ct software platform on the efficiency of a left atrial appendage closure procedure
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an accepted option for stroke prevention in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) unable to take long-term oral anticoagulation. Cardiac CT scans are increasingly being used for pre-procedural planning of structural heart procedures. However, the impact of pre-procedural planning on LAAC procedures is unknown.
