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

Objective To explore the reciprocal relationship of depression and atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods A literature search was conducted in Pub Med, Scopus, and Google Scholar using …

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

Background Atrial myopathy refers to structural and functional cardiac abnormalities
associated with atrial fibrillation and stroke, but appropriate diagnostic criteria are lacking …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Skeletal muscle disorders are mostly genetic and include several rare diseases. With
disease progression, muscle fibrosis and adiposis occur, resulting in limited mobility. The …

The patch with a superlubricated surface shows great potential for the prevention of
postoperative adhesion during soft tissue repair. However, the existing patches suffer from …

The identification of the pulmonary veins as a trigger source for atrial fibrillation (AF) has
established pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as a key target for AF ablation. However, PVI …
