Connexin Lateralization Contributes to Male Susceptibility to Atrial Fibrillation
Men have a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) than women, though the reason for this is unknown. Here, we compared atrial electrical and structural properties in male and female mice and explored the contribution of sex hormones. Cellular electrophysiological studies revealed that ac...
