Key result

Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation exhibited opposite morphological changes in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, amyloidosis, and myofibrillar loss compared to those with long-standing persistent AF.

Overview

Distinct remodeling patterns distinguish paroxysmal from persistent AF; extends phenotyping but leaves open progression biomarkers and management implications.

P
Population
Adult patients with paroxysmal, persistent, or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation compared to a control group with sinus rhythm.
C
Comparator
Comparison group patients with sinus rhythm without history of AF
O
Outcome
Morphological features of the myocardium of the atrial appendages including myocardial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte diameter, lipomatosis, amyloidosis, and myofibril contentsurrogate

Different clinical forms of atrial fibrillation are associated with distinct patterns of cellular remodeling and correlations between cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and left atrial enlargement.

Cite This Study

Sukhacheva et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal, persistent, or long-standing persistent) vs. Sinus rhythm without history of AF was evaluated on Morphological features of the myocardium of the atrial appendages. Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation exhibited opposite morphological changes in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, amyloidosis, and myofibrillar loss compared to those with long-standing persistent AF.
