Aortic stiffness in lone atrial fibrillation: a novel risk factor for arrhythmia recurrence.

Aortic stiffness in lone atrial fibrillation: a novel risk factor for arrhythmia recurrence.

<h4>Background</h4>Recent community-based research has linked aortic stiffness to the development of atrial fibrillation. We posit that aortic stiffness contributes to adverse atrial remodeling leading to the persistence of atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation in lone atrial f...
