The electrical activity of the pulmonary vein and its potential role in cardiac arrhythmia

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, which is strongly correlated with patients who go on to develop a stroke. AF is thought to be originated in the myocardial sleeve of the pulmonary vein (PV) extending from left atrium (LA). Some studies have shown automaticity activity in PV cardiomyocytes generated by pacemaker-like cells, which can lead to the generation of ectopic activit...
