 | | It is placed obliquely in the chest behind the body of the sternum and adjoining parts of the rib cartilages, and projects farther into the left than into the right half of the thoracic cavity, so that about one-third of it is situated on the right and two-thirds on the left of the median plane. | | | The deep layers are three in number; they arise in the papillary muscles of one ventricle and, curving in an S-shaped manner, turn in at the longitudinal sulcus and end in the papillary muscles of the other ventricle. | | | This valve may be double or it may be cribriform. |

| | The papillary muscles and chordae tendinae function to prevent the cusps of the valve from being everted into the atrium by the pressure developed in the contracting ventricle. | | | From the end of each papillary muscle several tendonlike fibrous cords, called chordae tendinae extend to the cusps of the atriventricular valve. | | | This increased pressure closes the valve, and as the ventricle becomes smaller during contraction, the papillary muscles also contract so that they maintain tension on the cusps. |

| | Sanchez Left Atrium Text Description |
| | Although the subjective evaluation of the size of the left atrium from the chest radiograph is usually pretty accurate, if you are interested in a more quantitative assessment of left atrial size, you can do what used to be called a “ cardiac series ”. | | | The most useful film is the right anterior oblique view in which the interface of the esophagus and left atrium is seen tangentially. | | | That was a four view (PA, lateral and both oblique views) radiograph of the thorax after the patient swallowed a thick barium past e to mark the course of the esophagus. |

| | Several studies have demonstrated a significantly higher incidence of PFO in patients suffering from cryptogenic stroke (40%-50%), as compared to the incidence found in the general population (25%-30%). | | | Under certain circumstances, this flap-like opening may allow emboli to abnormally shunt from the right to the left atria, increasing the risk of ischemic stroke. | | | A patent foramen ovale is a flap-like opening in the atrial septum that fails to close after birth in approximately 25%-30% of the population. |

| | Left Atrium |
| | This valve has two leaflets or cusps, and is called the "bicuspid valve." It prevents blood from flowing back into the left atrium from the ventricle and is attached to papillary muscles by the "chordae tendinae." | | | Blood passes from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the atrioventricular opening, which is guarded by a valve. | | | The left atrium chamber of the heart receives blood from the lungs through four "pulmonary veins" - two from the right lung and two from the left lung. |

| | ABC News: Obesity Linked to Unhealthy Heartbeat in Study |
| | The researchers tracked more than 5,200 middle-aged adults for an average of 14 years, during which 526 developed atrial fibrillation, mostly due to changes in the structure of the heart blamed on patients being overweight. | | | Obesity can cause the heart's left atrium, an upper chamber that receives oxygenated blood circulated from the lungs, to become dilated and beat abnormally fast, throwing off the heart's rhythm, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. |

| | The vein from the middle lobe of the right lung generally unites with that from the upper lobe, so that ultimately two trunks from each lung are formed; they perforate the fibrous layer of the pericardium and open separately into the upper and back part of the left atrium. | | | These vessels uniting successively, form a single trunk for each lobe, three for the right, and two for the left lung. | | | They are four in number, two from each lung, and are destitute of valves. |
