Cardiac arrhythmias are among the leading causes of mortality. They often arise from
alterations in the electrophysiological properties of cardiac cells and their underlying ionic …

This paper discusses the evolving concept of atrial myopathy by presenting how it develops
and how it affects the properties of the atria. It also reviews the complex relationships among …

Aging can be seen as process characterized by accumulation of oxidative stress induced
damage. Oxidative stress derives from different endogenous and exogenous processes, all …

The cellular and molecular mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrosis are
highly complex. We have reviewed the literature that covers the effectors, signal transduction …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical
practice. Its prevalence increases dramatically with advancing age. This review article …

Aging results in functional and structural changes in the cardiovascular system, translating
into a progressive increase of mechanical vessel stiffness, due to a combination of changes …

Abstract Background Low-voltage zones (LVZs), as measured by electroanatomic mapping,
are thought to be associated with fibrosis. We reported the efficacy of atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Atrial myopathy is a condition that consists of electrical, structural, contractile, and autonomic
remodeling of the atria and is the substrate for development of atrial fibrillation, the most …

Aging comes with gradual loss of functions that increase the vulnerability to disease,
senescence, and death. The mechanisms underlying these processes are linked to a …

Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Liensinine (Lien, C 37 H 42 N 2 O 6) is an
alkaloid compound from plumula nelumbinis that demonstrates an antihypertensive effect …
