Identification of novel pulmonary vein nodes as generators of ectopic arrhythmic foci for atrial fibrillation: an immunohistochemical proof

Purpose The atrial muscle sleeve (AMS) of the pulmonary vein is the most common source of the arrhythmogenic triggers in atrial fibrillation (AF). Anatomical substrate generating these ectopic currents is still elusive. The present study was designed to study the AMS of pulmonary veins with an empha...
