Abstract excerpt
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, driven by electrical and structural remodeling that promotes proarrhythmic substrates. Interindividual variability in susceptibility to remodeling triggers, such as myocardial ischemia, suggests the involvement of genetic determinants. Ischemic heart failure (IHF) was induced by a 90-min occlusion of the left anterior descending artery in...
