Atrial fibrillation is associated with altered left-to-right atria gene expression ratio: implications for arrhythmogenesis and thrombogenesis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes atrial remodeling, and the left atrium (LA) is the favored substrate for maintaining AF. However, it remains unclear if AF remodels both atria differently and contributes to LA arrhythmogenesis and thrombogenesis. Results: AF was associated with differential LA-to-RA gene expression related to specific ion channels and pathways as well as upregulation of thrombogenesis-related genes in the LA appendage. Targeting the molecular mechanisms underlying the LA-to-RA difference and AF-related remodeling in the LA appendage may help provide new therapeutic options in treating AF and preventing thromboembolism in AF.
