Background Previous studies show that left cardiac sympathetic denervation(LCSD)seems an effective treatment for patients with malignant ventricular arrhythmia(VA).However,the role of LCSD in modulati
Background Vagus nerve stimulation(VNS)has been shown to improve rapid atrial pacing induced cardiac autonomic remodeling,which plays an important role in ventricular arrhythmia(VA)after myocardial in
Atrial hypertrophy and fibrosis are essential pathological features of atrial fibrillation.Recently,adiponectin has become a protein of interest due to its beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease
Background The gene zinc finger homeobox 3(ZFHX3)encodes a transcription factor with cardiac expression and its genetic variants are associated with atrial fibrillation(AF).We aimed to explore the ass
Background A recent meta-analysis of several genome wide association studies(GWASs)identified six new susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)for atrial fibrillation(AF)in individuals of E
Objective To investigate the impact of LOM ablation on the blood pressure and ventricular electrophysiology changes induced by LSG stimulation and ventricular arrhythmias induced by cesium chloride(Cs
Introduction Diabetes mellitus(DM)is anindependent risk factor for atrial fibrillation(AF).However,the underlying mechanisms for the increased propensity for AF in the setting of DM and thepotential e
Objective The aim of the study was to explore the effect of renal sympathetic denervation(RSD)on the progression of paroxysmal AF in canines with long-term intermittent atrial pacing.
Introduction Atrial fibrosisis one of the fundamental pathophysiological mechanisms in the development ofatrial fibrillation,and the abnormal proliferation and polarization of atrialfibroblast stimula
Background A previous genome-wide association study(GWAS)has identified Single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)rs6817105 on chromosome 4q25 associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation(AF)in European d
