An important acknowledgement of the last several years is that atrial fibrillation (AF) modifies
the electrical properties of the atrium in a way that promotes its occurrence and …

Fibrillation. Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology (2000) 32, 1101–1117. Atrial …

Electrical remodeling refers to any change in electrical function that promotes atrial
fibrillation (AF). A key advance in understanding the mechanisms of AF has been the …

During atrial fibrillation (AF) intracellular Ca2+ signaling in atrial myocytes changes
substantially. This 'remodeled'intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis plays an important role in the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia that can occur as the result of numerous different
pathophysiological processes in the atria. Some aspects of the morphological and …

Atrial electrical and structural alterations (remodeling) have emerged as key elements in the
development of the atrial fibrillation (AF) substrate. Evidence points to abnormalities in …

Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive disease. Previously, clinical and animal
experimental studies in AF revealed a variety of myocyte remodeling processes including L …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with an overall prevalence of almost
1%. Increasing prevalence and associated risks such as stroke and mortality have increased …

One of the most exciting developments in our understanding of atrial fibrillation (AF) over the
last several years has been the recognition that AF itself modifies atrial electrical properties …

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 …
