Enhanced Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ Leak and Increased Na+-Ca2+ Exchanger Function Underlie Delayed Afterdepolarizations in Patients With Chronic Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: Enhanced SR Ca2+ leak through CaMKII-hyperphosphorylated RyR2, in combination with larger INCX for a given SR Ca 2+ release and increased diastolic [Ca2+]i-voltage coupling gain, causes AF-promoting atrial delayed afterdepolarizations/triggered activity in cAF patients.

Meta-analysis identifies six new susceptibility loci for atrial fibrillation

Patrick T. Ellinor, +101 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Six new atrial fibrillation susceptibility loci implicate candidate genes that encode transcription factors related to cardiopulmonary development, cardiac-expressed ion channels and cell signaling molecules that are associated with stroke, heart failure and death.

Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation after stroke and transient ischaemic attack: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The overall proportion of patients with stroke who are known to have atrial fibrillation seems to be higher than previously estimated, and more patients could be treated with oral anticoagulants and more stroke recurrences prevented.

Sodium channel mutations and susceptibility to heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: To identify a novel gene for DCM at a previously mapped locus, define the spectrum of mutations in this gene within a DCM cohort, and determine the frequency of DCM among relatives inheriting a mutation, refined locus mapping revealed SCN5A, encoding the cardiac sodium channel, as a candidate gene.

Atrial fibrillation: profile and burden of an evolving epidemic in the 21st century

TL;DR: AF represents an evolving, global epidemic providing considerable challenges to minimise its impact from an individual to whole society perspective and future projections predict at least a doubling of AF cases by 2050.
