ATRIAL FIBROSIS IS A MORPHOLOGICAL BASIS OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Mechanisms of atrial fibrosis including the role of serotonin in the development of this lesion in patients with atrial fibrillation are presented. New approaches to the treatment of atrial fibrillation aimed at atrial fibrosis reduction are discussed.

Myocardial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia, and tends to progress. Any structural changes in the heart may lead to its progressive remodelling with increased deposition of connective tissue and fibrosis. Predominance of collagen types I and III

Atrial myocyte-derived exosomal microRNA contributes to atrial fibrosis in atrial fibrillation
Background Atrial fibrosis plays a critical role in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Exosomes are a promising cell-free therapeutic approach for the treatment of AF.

Interactions between atrial fibrosis and inflammation in atrial fibrillation. [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex arrhythmia driven by intricate pathophysiological mechanisms, with atrial fibrosis and inflammation emerging as central players in its initiation and perpetuation. Key pathways, including the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), TGF-β/Smad signaling, and pro-inflammatory cytokine cascades (e.g., TNF-α/NF-κB,

Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Fibrosis [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. It affects 5% of the population older than age 65 years and is projected to rise as the population ages. Experimental data from animal models of AF show that AF is associated with progressive structural and electrical remodeling of the atria.

Atrial Fibrosis, Ischaemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrosis is an important component of the arrhythmic substrate in AF. Evidence suggests that atrial fibrosis also plays a role in increasing the risk of stroke in patients with the arrhythmia. Patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), who are suspected to have AF but are rarely shown to have it, frequently demonstrate evidence ...

Atrial fibrosis and the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), and CHF has been shown to be associated with atrial structural remodeling resulting in fibrosis. Atrial interstitial fibrosis has been seen in patients with CHF and in animal models of pacing-induced heart failure.

Atrial remodeling, fibrosis, and atrial fibrillation [PDF]
The fundamental mechanisms governing the perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice, are poorly understood, which explains in part why AF prevention and treatment remain suboptimal. Although some clinical parameters have been identified as predicting a transition from paroxysmal to persistent AF in ...

Atrial fibrosis occurs frequently with structural heart disease and is considered as a major cause of arrhythmia. Microarray-based profiling predicted the differential expression of SPP1 in atrial fibrosis.

The use of MRI in quantification of the atrial fibrosis in patients with rheumatic mitral disease
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common type of arrhythmia with higher incidence in countries with increased prevalence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD), where AF contributes to significant morbidity and mortality in young population.
