Heart disease has always been one of the important diseases that endanger health and
cause death. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand left atrium reconstruction …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia associated with substantial
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with stroke being the most critical complication. Most …

Left atrial (LA) structural and functional remodeling reflects a spectrum of pathophysiological
changes that have occurred in response to specific stressors. These changes include …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice.
Despite advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of this complex arrhythmia …

The natural history of atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by a gradual worsening with time.
The recent finding that AF itself produces changes in atrial function and structure has …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in human beating
hearts. AF initiates self-perpetuating changes in electrophysiology, structure and functional …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. It can occur at any
age but is very rare in children and becomes extremely common in the elderly, with a …

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 (AF) and congestive heart failure (CHF) are 2 frequently encountered
conditions in clinical practice. Both lead to changes in atrial function and structure, an array …

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 …
