Abstract figure legend Digital heart models of human donor atria with cardiac co‐morbidities revealed that regions with AWT variation, aligned myofibres adjacent to disorganised zones and fibrotic borders promoted the localisation and stability of RDs. AWT had a global influence, whereas fibre orientation and fibrosis exerted chamber‐specific regional ...

Deciphering pro‐arrhythmogenic mechanisms of EPAC in human atrial cardiomyocytes
Abstract figure legend This study aimed to investigate the effect of exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC) on the regulation of human atrial cardiomyocyte electrophysiology and their potential involvement in the onset of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Abstract figure legend Traditional planar imaging approaches of the left atrium do not capture complex geometry. Four‐dimensional imaging allows the acquisition of 3D data + time to visualize left atrial geometry and kinematics. We designed an advanced analysis technique to investigate left atrial biomechanics in a model of pressure overload and ...
