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.

Distinct remodeling patterns distinguish paroxysmal from persistent AF; extends phenotyping but leaves open progression biomarkers and management implications.
Observational
Different clinical forms of atrial fibrillation are associated with distinct patterns of cellular remodeling and correlations between cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and left atrial enlargement.
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.
