Pathology of atrial fibrillation in man.
Open accessAbstract
Quantitative studies on the sinoatrial (SA) node and internodal tracts in IOO heartsfrom patients coming to necropsy with atrialfibrillation have been carried out.In patients with atrialfibrillation developing only in the last two weeks of life, pulmonary emboli and acute pericarditis were common precipitating factors.Atrial dilatation was common but the SA node and internodal tracts were within normal limits.In contrast patients with long-term atrial fibrillation showed combinations of nodal artery stenosis, muscle loss in the SA node or internodal tracts, and atrial dilatation.The pathological conditions found most commonly were chronic rheumatic valve disease, ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, and cor pulmonale.Atrialfibrillation in some aged patients was associated with loss of muscle fibres in the SA node without any clear pathological cause.

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.
