A meta-analysis of the relationship between anatomical variations of pulmonary veins and atrial fibrillation.

CONCLUSION: The findings of the current study support the hypothesis that pulmonary vein variations predispose to AF. Further studies into the role of structural abnormalities of the pulmonary veins variations in the genesis of AF are recommended. PMID: 30736723 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
