Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in humans and
is a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Despite its prevalence, our mechanistic …

In the heart, cardiac macrophages have widespread biological functions, including roles in
antigen presentation, phagocytosis, and immunoregulation, through the formation of diverse …

Background: Enhanced diastolic calcium (Ca2+) release through ryanodine receptor type-2
(RyR2) has been implicated in atrial fibrillation (AF) promotion. Diastolic sarcoplasmic …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice
and is known to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Previous studies …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been suggested to play indispensable roles in
multiple heart diseases. However, the correlations between lncRNAs and atrial fibrillation …

Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common after cardiac surgery and is
associated with an inferior outcome. The high cure rate compared with non-POAF raises …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), known as the most common arrhythmia in the developed world, affects
1.5–2.0% of the population. Numerous basic studies have been carried out to identify the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive arrhythmia with underlying mechanisms that are not
fully elucidated, partially due to lack of reliable and affordable animal models. Here, we …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a type of sustained arrhythmia in humans often characterized by
devastating alterations to the cardiac conduction system as well as the structure of the atria …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Current
therapies for AF are ineffective, mainly due to incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis …
