Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a major clinical burden because structural and metabolic remodeling, particularly mitochondrial dysfunction and fibrosis, often persists beyond rhythm control. Human-relevant models that disentangle these axes and connect them to patient data are limited. METHODS: Human atrial organoids were exposed to two AF-relevant stressors: rapid pacing (FP) and angiotensin II...
