Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the association between structural changes in human atria, age, and history of atrial fibrillation (AF).Background Development of fibrosis in atrial walls is associated with deterioration of atrial conduction and predisposes to AF in experiment. Human data, however, are scarce, and whether fibrosis is a cause or consequence of AF is not known.Methods Medical records for consecutive autopsies were checked for AF history and duration. Atrial specimens from 30 patients (ages 64 ± 12 years) were collected in 3 equal age-matched groups as patients without AF history, with paroxysmal AF, or with permanent AF. Tissue samples were obtained at the level of superior pulmonary veins, inferior pulmonary veins, center of posterior left atrial wall, terminal crest, and Bachmann's bundle. Histology sections were assessed for extent of fibrosis, fatty tissues, and inflammatory infiltration at each location.Results No correlation was observed between age and fibrosis at any location. Fibrosis extent and fatty infiltration were twofold to threefold higher at all locations in patients with history of AF and correlated with lymphomononuclear infiltration. Patients with permanent AF had greater fibrosis extent than did patients with paroxysmal AF.Conclusions In post-mortem material, structural changes in the atria were not associated with age, but were significantly correlated with presence of AF and its severity. Our findings suggest that age-related changes per se are unlikely to be the sole cause of advanced fibrosis underlying AF.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
