A stenosis of the right coronary artery is associated with atrial late potentials. A successful PTCA of the right coronary artery eliminates preexistent atrial late potentials and may reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation.
This study shows that paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in aterial hypertension is based on the left atrial size, and left atrial size on left ventricular muscle mass. Therefore, these results should lead to a causal therapy for treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
