Heterogeneous atrial wall thickness and stretch promote scroll waves anchoring during atrial fibrillation

AIMS: Atrial dilatation and myocardial stretch are strongly associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the mechanisms by which the three-dimensional (3D) atrial architecture and heterogeneous stretch contribute to AF perpetuation are incompletely understood. We compared AF dynamics during st...
