Mitochondrial DNA deletion associated with the reduction of adenine nucleotides in human atrium and atrial fibrillation
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Structural changes in the number, size, and shape of mitochondria (mt) have been observed in the atrial muscles of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and of animals with rapid atrial pacing, however, it is not known whether the mitochondrial function is impaired in human atrium with AF. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We determined adenine nucleotides concentrations and mtDNA deletions in 26 human right...
