Stretch of Atrial Myocytes Stimulates Recruitment of Macrophages via ATP Released Through Gap-Junction Channels

Atrial inflammation is critical to atrial fibrillation initiation and progression. Although left atrial dilatation is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation, the mechanism linking atrial dilatation and inflammation is unclear. We evaluated the mechanisms underlying infiltration of macrophages induced...
