Altered physiological functions and ion currents in atrial fibroblasts from patients with chronic atrial fibrillation
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
The contribution of human atrial fibroblasts to cardiac physiology and pathophysiology is poorly understood. Fibroblasts may contribute to arrhythmogenesis through fibrosis, or by directly altering electrical activity in cardiomyocytes. The objective of our study was to uncover phenotypic differences between cells from patients in sinus rhythm (SR) and chronic atrial fibrillation (AF), with special emphasis on...
