Myocyte Remodeling Due to Fibro-Fatty Infiltrations Influences Arrhythmogenicity

The onset of cardiac arrhythmias depends on the electrophysiological and structural properties of cardiac tissue. Electrophysiological remodeling of myocytes due to the presence of adipocytes constitutes a possibly important pathway in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation. In this paper we perfor...
