The pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF) may involve atrial fibrosis/remodeling and
dysfunctional endothelial activities. Despite the currently available treatment approaches …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults and diabetes mellitus (DM) is
a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between both …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and a major cause of
stroke and morbidity. The strongest genetic risk factors for AF in humans are variants on …

Electrophysiological and structural disruptions in cardiac arrhythmias are closely related to
mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are an organelle generating ATP, thereby satisfying …

The voltage-gated K+ channel plays a key role in atrial excitability, conducting the ultra-rapid
rectifier K+ current (IKur) and contributing to the repolarization of the atrial action potential. In …

Analysis of the spatio-temporal distribution of calcium sparks showed a preferential increase
in sparks near the sarcolemma in atrial myocytes from patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice affecting
both patients' survival and well-being. Apart from aging, many cardiovascular risk factors …

Necroptosis, which is distinct from apoptosis and necrosis, serves a crucial role in ontogeny
and the maintenance of homeostasis. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that the …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with altered expression of the transcription
factor Pitx2c and a high incidence of calcium release-induced afterdepolarizations …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) and myocardial infarction (MI) share common
cardiovascular risk factors, therefore coexistence of AF and MI is very common, in addition …
