Left Atrial Hypertension, Electrical Conduction Slowing, and Mechanical Dysfunction – The Pathophysiological Triad in Atrial Fibrillation-Associated Atrial Cardiomyopathy

Left Atrial Hypertension, Electrical Conduction Slowing, and Mechanical Dysfunction – The Pathophysiological Triad in Atrial Fibrillation-Associated Atrial Cardiomyopathy

BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and a significant burden for healthcare systems worldwide. Presence of relevant atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) is related to persistent AF and increased arrhythmia recurrence rates after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).ObjectiveTo investig...
