Vascular endothelial growth factor promotes atrial arrhythmias by inducing acute intercalated disk remodeling
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with inflammation. AF patients have elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines known to promote vascular leak, such as vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF). However, the contribution of vascular leak and conseque...
