Fibroblasts of cardiac origin are capable of synchronizing electrical activity of multicellular cardiac tissue over extended distances, which may contribute to arrhythmogenesis in fibrotic hearts.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform arrhythmogenesis mechanisms in fibrotic hearts; hypothesis-generating and requires in vivo validation.
Gaudesius et al. (2003) studied this question.
