Cell communication, an essential component of integrated physiological function in
multicellular organisms, is mediated largely through informational molecules, such as …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia managed in clinical practice, and it is
linked to an increased risk of death, stroke, and peripheral embolism. The Global Burden of …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. AF is a complex disease that
results from genetic and environmental factors and their interactions. In recent years …

Vorhofflimmern (VHF) ist eine verbreitete Herzkrankheit mit komplexer genetischer
Grundlage. Trotz der Fortschritte in der Behandlung bleibt die Sterblichkeit bei VHF …

This chapter focuses on basic cellular atrial electrophysiology and tries to pinpoint the
consequences of cardiac conditions that play a role in creating a substrate for atrial …

Cardiac arrhythmia is a group of medical conditions, in which the electrical activity of the
heart is irregular, or is slower or faster than normal. Some arrhythmias are life-threatening …

Rapidly evolving work indicates that there are important genetic determinants of atrial
fibrillation, and suggests that understanding these determinants will help us both to …

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to determine the specific impact of hypertension, type-2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and ageing on atrial molecular biology by using animal models of …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of a wide range of cardiac and systemic
diseases and is regarded generally as a sporadic, acquired disorder. Familial clustering of …

Structural and functional changes in the heart in re-sponse to disease or dysfunction are
essential compensatory responses to stress. In the context of sustained stress such initially …
