Atrial Remodeling in Atrial Fibrillation. Comorbidities and Markers of Disease Progression Predict Catheter Ablation Outcome.

Atrial Remodeling in Atrial Fibrillation. Comorbidities and Markers of Disease Progression Predict Catheter Ablation Outcome. Curr Cardiol Rev. 2020 Jul 21;: Authors: Szilágyi J, Sághy L Abstract Atrial fibrillation is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia affecting an increasing proportion of the population in which the mainstream therapy, catheter ablation provides freedom from arrhythmia for only a limited number of patients. Understanding the mechanism is key in order to find more effective therapies and to improve patient selection. In this review, we will detail the structural and electrophysiological changes of the atrial musculature that constitute atrial remodeling in atrial fibrillaton and how risk factors and markers of disease progression can predict catheter ablation outcome.
