Atrial fibrillation is associated with left ventricular dysfunction and impaired myocardial energetics that persist despite catheter ablation: Is atrial fibrillation the chicken or the egg?
- Abstract:
-
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of heart failure and premature death, and is often resistant to treatment. Animal models of pacing-induced AF indicate that AF-induced endothelial dysfunction, impaired coronary reserve, and myocardial remodelling are important in arrhythmia maintenance. However, human AF may reflect a subclinical cardiomyopathy, which persists after sinus rhythm (SR) restoration and provides a substrate for AF recurrence. To test this hypothesis, we ...
