Box Isolation of fibrotic areas: A substrate modification approach in atrial fibrillation patients
Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2017 In the last years, atrial fibrosis was shown to be an independent predictor of procedural failure in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation and cardiac fibrosis
European Heart Journal, 2019 Abstract The understanding of atrial fibrillation (AF) evolved from a sole rhythm disturbance towards the complex concept of a cardiomyopathy based on arrhythmia substrates. There is evidence that atrial fibrosis can be visualized using late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and that it is a powerful predictor for

Myocardial Architecture and Patient Variability in Clinical Patterns of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
, 2016 Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke by a factor of four to five and is the most common abnormal heart rhythm. The progression of AF with age, from short self-terminating episodes to persistence, varies between individuals and is poorly ...

Atrial fibrosis progression in patients with Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2016 Methods Eighty-eight patients (58% male, mean age 60.4+/-14.7) with AF who underwent late gadolinium enhancement MRI (LGE-MRI) to assess the degree of atrial tissue fibrotic changes were included in this study. All patients underwent at least 2 or more LGE-MRI separated by more than 3 months of follow up.

LncRNA PVT1 regulates atrial fibrosis via miR-128-3p-SP1-TGF-β1-Smad axis in atrial fibrillation
Molecular Medicine, 2019 Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) has been shown to be associated with liver fibrosis. Nevertheless, the role of PVT1 in atrial fibrosis remains undefined.

A model based on clinical parameters to identify myocardial late gadolinium enhancement by magnetic resonance in patients with aortic stenosis: An observational study [PDF]
, 2020 Objective With increasing age, the prevalence of aortic stenosis grows exponentially, increasing left heart pressures and potentially leading to myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis and adverse outcomes.
