Profibrillatory Structural and Functional Properties of the Atrial-Pulmonary Junction in the Absence of Remodeling

Profibrillatory Structural and Functional Properties of the Atrial-Pulmonary Junction in the Absence of Remodeling

Background: Sole pulmonary vein (PV) isolation by ablation therapy prevents atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with short episodes of AF and without comorbidities. Since incomplete PV isolation can be curative, we tested the hypothesis that the PV in the absence of remodeling and comorbidities con...
