Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated with increased
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiology of AF is characterized by …

Over the past decade there has been an interest in understanding the role of gut microbiota
in the pathogenesis of AF. A number of studies have linked the gut microbiota to the …

Aims Endurance exercise is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). We
previously established that adverse atrial remodeling and AF susceptibility induced by …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). The
mechanistic link between CKD and AF remains elusive. Interleukin (IL)-1β, a main effector of …

Background. Carotid artery stenosis is often considered a stable clinical condition, and the
underlying atherosclerosis is thought to have an inflammatory background. Objectives. The …

Background: Atrial myopathy and atrial fibrillation (AF) accompany thrombo-inflammation.
This facilitates disease progression and promotes major adverse cardiovascular events …

Cardiac electrophysiology is regulated by continuous trafficking and internalization of ion
channels occurring over minutes to hours. Kv11. 1 (also known as hERG) underlies the …

Aim Hyperphosphatemia is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in both the
general population and patients with end‐stage renal disease. We evaluated whether high …

This white paper is the outcome of the seventh UC Davis Cardiovascular Research
Symposium on Systems Approach to Understanding Cardiovascular Disease and …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been accepted as an inflammatory atrial myopathy.
Interleukin 6 (IL-6)–dependent inflammatory signaling pathways take context-dependent …
