DNA Methylation and Telomeres—Their Impact on the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation during Cardiac Aging
28 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. AF is characterized by irregular and increased atrial muscle activation. This high-frequency activation obliterates the synchronous work of the atria and ventricles, reducing myocardial performance, which can lead to severe heart failure or stroke. The risk of developing atrial fibrillation depends largely on the patient's history. Cardiovascular...
