Influence of atrial ultrastructural remodeling on its early mechanical transport following surgery for atrial fibrillation and mitral insufficiency

We have shown that the restoration of SR following RFA and mitral valve surgery is not equal to normal atrial mechanical transport. Interstitial fibrosis, a symbol of ultrastructural remodeling, is a negative precursor of LA mechanical activity. Our data did not corroborate clear difference in the extent of fibrosis between groups, although a tendency towards more severe ultrastructural remodeling was noticed in patients with history of AF.
