Arrangement of the Autonomic Nerves Around the Pulmonary Vein-Left Atrial Junctions —Histologic and Immunohistochemical Analyses—

Arrangement of the Autonomic Nerves Around the Pulmonary Vein-Left Atrial Junctions —Histologic and Immunohistochemical Analyses—

Introduction: Imbalanced autonomic activity in the area of the pulmonary veins (PVs) can result in spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF). Histologic characteristics of the PV sleeve musculature and associated autonomic nerve are not fully understood. We investigated the arrangement of autonomic nerve...
