Effects of Electrical and Structural Remodeling on Atrial Fibrillation Maintenance: A Simulation Study

Ploscompbiol: Feb. 23, 2012 – Trine Krogh-Madsen1,2, Geoffrey W. Abbott3¤, David J. Christini1,2* Atrial fibrillation, a common cardiac arrhythmia, often progresses unfavourably: in patients with long-term atrial fibrillation, fibrillatory episodes are typically of increased duration and frequency of occurrence relative to healthy controls. This is due to electrical, structural, and contractile remodeling processes. We investigated mechanisms of how […]
