Epicardial Fibrosis Explains Increased Endo –Epicardial Dissociation and Epicardial Breakthroughs in Human Atrial Fibrillation

ConclusionA realistic 3D computer model of AF in which epicardial fibrosis was increased, in the absence of other pathological changes, showed increases in EED and epicardial BT comparable to those in longstanding persAF. Thus, epicardial fibrosis can explain both phenomena.
