[EN] During atrial fibrillation, cardiac tissue undergoes different remodeling processes at different scales from the molecular level to the tissue level. One central player that contributes to both electrical and structural ...
[EN] Under persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF), cardiac
tissue experiences electrophysiological and structural
remodeling. Fibrosis in the atrial tissue has an important
impact on the myocyte action potential and ...
[EN] This work uses a highly detailed computational model
of human atria to investigate the effect of spatial gradient and smoothing of atrial wall thickness on inducibility
and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF) ...
