Defective ‘shock absorber’ in heart muscle cells contributes to the development of atrial fibrillation
Impaired calcium buffering in heart muscle cells promotes the progression and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation. This was discovered by researchers from the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK). The findings offer potential starting points for new therapies. The results
