Systematic review of biological therapies for atrial fibrillation

Biological therapies that increase or suppress the expression of transcripts underlying atrial fibrillation (AF) progression are increasingly being explored to create novel treatment paradigms beyond simply suppressing or destroying tissue. To date, there has been no systematic overview of the pre-clinical evidence exploring manipulation of fundamental biological principles in the treatment of AF. As such, the objective of this study was to establish the effect of biological approaches used in the treatment of AF within large and small animals.
