Left atrial wall shear stress distribution correlates with atrial endocardial electrogram voltage and fibrosis in patients with atrial fibrillation
2024-07-16
Abstract excerpt
Left atrial (LA) wall fibrosis plays an important role in the perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF) since the abnormal electrophysiological properties of the fibrotic areas sustains the arrhythmia by favoring both re-entry circuits as well as abnormal impulse generation. Despite its crucial contribution, the mechanisms by which LA fibrosis develops are not well understood. The LA wall is constantly exposed to t...
