Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical
practice, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Electrophysiologically, it is …

Around the world there are 33.5 million patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF) with an
annual increase of 5 million cases. Most AF patients have an established form of an atrial …

Atrial fibrosis with enhanced turnover and deposition of matrix proteins leads to
inhomogeneous atrial electrical conduction and gives rise to electrical reentry circuits …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained clinical arrhythmia and is associated
with significant morbidity, mostly secondary to heart failure and stroke, and an estimated two …
