Mechanisms of atrial structural changes caused by stretch occurring before and during early atrial fibrillation
Abstract
Structural remodelling occurring before, due to the underlying heart disease, and during atrial fibrillation (AF) sets the stage for permanent AF. Current therapy in AF aims to maintain sinus rhythm in symptomatic patients, but outcome is unfortunately poor. Stretch of the atria is a main contributor to atrial remodelling. In this review, we describe different aspects of structural remodelling as seen in animal models and in patients with AF, including atrial enlargement, cellular hypertrophy, dedifferentiation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and loss of contractile elements. In the second part, we describe downstream signals of mechanical stretch and their contribution to AF and structural remodelling. Ultimately, knowledge of mechanisms underlying structural remodelling may help to identify new pharmacological targets for AF prevention.

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.
