Atrial Fibrillation - Current Understanding and Management Strategies

169 Introduction Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia characterized by irregular, disorganized and chaotic electrical activity of the atrium. The ECG classically is represented by low amplitude, variable and irregular base-line undulations corresponding to atrial rate in the range of 400-600/min. The ventricular rate is irregularly irregular (Fig. 1). The mean ventricular rate is usually b...

Reactive oxygen species-targeted therapeutic interventions for atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that requires medical attention, and its incidence is increasing. Current ion channel blockade therapies and catheter ablation have significant limitations in treatment of AF, mainly because they do not address the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Oxidative stress has been implicated as a major underlying pathology that promotes A...
