Role of the autonomic nervous system in atrial fibrillation pathogenesis
Keyword(s):
The aim of this review was to study the role of the autonomic nervous system in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as to establish the relationship of autonomic regulation with other mechanisms underlying the AF At present, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the AF have not been precisely established. There is interest in evidence showing that both sympathetic outflow and an increased vagal tone can initiate and support AF. As modern studies have shown, autonomic cardiac regulation can be an important factor in the pathogenesis of AF.
