Abstract excerpt
Atrial fibrillation is the most common clinical cardiac arrhythmia. It is often initiated by ectopic beats arising from the pulmonary veins and atria. While pulmonary vein myocytes most likely contribute to atrial ectopic beats initiating atrial fibrillation, emerging evidence suggests the existence of other cell populations that may also contribute to atrial arrhythmias. In addition to sinus node-like and...
