MicroRNAs emerging as mediators of remodeling with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is now established as an independent risk factor for stroke. Moreover, a concomitant diagnosis of AF greatly complicates treatment for a number of disease processes such as diabetes and congestive heart failure. Given the recognized additional burden that AF places on the health-care system, significant research has been performed in an attempt to delineate mechanisms that contribute to AF initiation as well as progression. Understandably, there is an extensive body of research that has identified abnormalities in ionic channels/electrogenic processes that ...
