Occlusion of left atrial appendage affects metabolomic profile: focus on glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid and urea metabolism

Authors:

Abstract
Left atrial appendage (LAA) closure (LAAC) by implantation of an occlusion device is an established cardiac intervention to reduce risk of stroke while avoiding intake of oral anticoagulation medication during atrial fibrillation. Cardiac interventions can alter local or systemic gene and protein expression. Effects of LAAC on systemic metabolism have not been studied yet.
