In conclusion, we appreciate the limitations of our small pilot study, and despite the lack of any significant findings, we agree with the authors' sentiment that in a larger, more robust study, histological

متن کاملThe histology of human right atrial tissue in patients with high-risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea and underlying cardiovascular disease: A pilot study
BACKGROUND Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) results in intermittent hypoxia leading to atrial remodeling, which, among other things, facilitates development of atrial fibrillation. While much data exists on the macrostructural changes in cardiac physiology induced by OSA, there is a lack of studies looking for histologic changes in human atrial tissue induced by OSA which might lead to the observe...
