expect, the arrhythmogenic mechanisms identified in the present study are associated with …

The prevalence of obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF), which are inextricably linked, is rapidly
increasing worldwide. Obesity rates are higher among patients with AF than healthy …

… Current rhythm control strategies with anti-arrhythmic drugs are limited by the lack of atrial-specific
agents, modest efficacy, and significant toxicities including risk of pro-…
