Disruption of NOX2-dependent Oxidative Injury with a Targeted Gene-Therapy Approach Prevents Atrial Fibrillation in a Canine Model
2019-09-11
Abstract excerpt
Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder in adults and a major cause of stroke. Unfortunately, current treatments of AF are suboptimal as they are not targeted to the molecular mechanisms underlying AF. In this study, we demonstrated using a novel gene-based strategy in a clinically relevant large animal of AF that oxidative injury is a key mechanism underlying the onset and perpetuation of AF....
