DNA Methylation and Telomeres—Their Impact on the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation during Cardiac Aging

DNA Methylation and Telomeres—Their Impact on the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation during Cardiac Aging

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. AF is characterized by irregular and increased atrial muscle activation. This high-frequency activation obliterates the synchronous work of the atria and ventricles, reducing myocardial performance, which can lead to severe heart fail...
