Persistent atrial fibrillation (PAF) results in electromechanical and structural remodeling by mechanisms that are poorly understood. Myofibroblast proliferation and fibrosis are major sources of structural remodeling in PAF. Myofibroblasts also interact with atrial myocytes via direct physical contact and release of signaling molecules, which may contribute to remodeling.To determine whether myofibroblasts...
The development of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery is associated with adverse outcomes; however, the mechanism(s) that trigger and maintain AF in these patients are unknown.The purpose of this study was to test our hypothesis that postoperative AF is maintained by high-frequency sources in the left atrium (LA) resulting from ion channel and structural features that differ from the right...
