Targeted modification of atrial electrophysiology by homogeneous transmural atrial gene transfer.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Safe and effective myocardial gene transfer remains elusive. Heterogeneous ventricular gene delivery has been achieved in small mammals but generally with methods not readily transferable to the clinic. Atrium-specific gene transfer has not yet been reported. We hypothesized that homogeneous atrial gene transfer could be achieved by direct application of adenoviral vectors to the epicardial surface,...
