Abstract
Diseased atria are characterised by functional and structural heterogeneities (e.g. dense fibrotic regions), which add to abnormal impulse generation and propagation, like ectopy and block. These heterogeneities are thought to play a role in the origin of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) under sinus rhythm (SR) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but also in the onset and perpetuation (e.g. reentry) of this disorder. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain incompletely understood.
