IMATFIB

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia, associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Histopathological studies of persistent AF have reported extracellular matrix remodelling with fibrotic infiltration which may cause atrial dilation. The degree of fibrosis might have a significant impact on wave propagation during AF...
