Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with structural, electrical, and contractile remodeling of
the atria. Development and progression of atrial fibrosis is the hallmark of structural …

Hypertension is a common cardiovascular risk factor leading to heart failure (HF), coronary

The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with ischemic stroke has long been recognized; yet,
the pathogenic mechanisms underlying this relationship are incompletely understood …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common tachyarrhythmias observed in the clinic and
is characterized by structural and electrical remodelling. Atrial fibrosis, an emblem of atrial …

Hypertension (HTN) is a common cardiovascular risk factor leading to heart failure (HF),

Background: Left atrial (LA) function following catheter or surgical ablation of de-novo long-
standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and its impact on AF recurrence was studied in …

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are commonly managed with rhythm control strategy, but
the natural history of this common arrhythmia leads itself to progression from paroxysmal to …

Galectin‐3 and Left Atrial Remodeling in AF Introduction Left atrial (LA) interstitial fibrosis is
known to have a role in the initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). The role of …

Aims The meta-analysis was aimed to search for candidate blood markers whose pre-
ablation level was associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is well-recognized in the pathophysiology of left atrial thrombogenesis
and resultant cardioembolic stroke. Subclinical AF is believed to account for a significant …
