MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory molecules post-transcriptionally suppressing
mRNA activity. Many miRNAs in various organisms have been cloned but many unknown …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia, with substantial associated morbidity
and mortality. There have been significant management advances over the past 2 decades …

Despite marked progress in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF), detecting AF remains
difficult and AF-related complications cause unacceptable morbidity and mortality even on …

Aims The concept of “atrial cardiomyopathy”(AtCM) had been percolating through the
literature since its first mention in 1972. Since then, publications using the term were …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes progressive structural and electrical changes in the atria that
can be summarized within the general concept of atrial remodeling. In parallel, other clinical …

Aims Atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) is associated with increased arrhythmia recurrence rates
after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). We compare the most common left atrial (LA) late …

In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Left atrial cardiomyopathy (LACM) has been an ongoing focus of research for several years.
There is evidence that LACM is responsible for atrial fibrillation and embolic strokes of …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a global health problem with high morbidity and mortality.
Catheter ablation (CA) can reduce AF burden and symptoms, but AF recurrence (AFr) …

Background: The presence of abnormal substrate of left atrium is a predictor of atrial
fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation. We aimed to investigate the …
