Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice,
precise mechanisms that lead to the onset and persistence of AF have not completely been …

The aim of the study is to characterize the signal transduction leading to interstitial fibrosis in
the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial remodeling. Samples of the left atrial …

Recent studies strongly suggest that the majority of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with
diagnosed or subclinical cardiac diseases have established or even pre-existing fibrotic …

Current evidence suggests that the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) is multifactorial.
The observation that AF, once present, alters the electrophysiologic properties of the atrial …

It is widely known that atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac
arrhythmia, with the problem magnified by the clinical sequelae; eg, thromboembolic events …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. AF and its
complications are responsible for important population morbidity and mortality. Presently …

Atrial fibrillation occurs and maintains itself in the context of a morphologically and
functionally altered atrial substrate that can be induced by stressors such as underlying …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and its treatment continues to
be a challenge. Recently, delayed enhancement (DE)-MRI was introduced in the diagnosis …

Introduction: The genesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and success of AF ablation therapy have
been strongly linked with atrial fibrosis. Increasing evidence suggests that patient-specific …

Aging plays a critical role in the genesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and also increases the risks
of cardiac dysfunction and stroke in AF patients. AF is caused by increased AF triggering …
