When is Structure, Function? Revisiting an Old Concept in Atrial Fibrillationx. Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology Zaman, J. A., Narayan, S. M. 2015

Abstract

The mechanistic role of cardiac structure is central to the conceptualization and therapy of arrhythmias, yet it is poorly understood in all but the simplest cases. A century after Mines first conceptualized reentry based on structural pathways, (1,2) it is common to dichotomize reentry into 'anatomical' and 'functional'. However, in many ways this is an uneasy distinction. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
