For both the atria and ventricles, fibrosis is generally recognized as one of the key
determinants of conduction disturbances. By definition, fibrosis refers to an increased …

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 …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a gaseous signalling molecule with crucial
implications for cardiovascular health. H2S is involved in many biological functions …

The heart works as a functional syncytium, which is realized via cell-cell coupling
maintained by gap junction channels. These channels connect two adjacent cells, so that …

Atrial anisotropy affects electrical propagation patterns, anchor locations of atrial reentrant
drivers, and atrial mechanics. However, patient-specific atrial fibre fields and anisotropy …

Aims To describe the extent and distribution of low voltage zones (LVZ) in a large cohort of
patients undergoing ablation for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), and to …
