Research progress on the relationship between the cardiac late sodium current and atrial fibrillation / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias.The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age.Increased cardiac late sodium currents are closely related to the occurrence of atrial fibrillation, and inhibition of the late sodium current has become a new target for antiarrhythmic therapy.Late sodium current inhibitors play an anti-atrial fibrillation role by inhibiting atrial late sodium currents and may become a new strategy for atrial fibrillation treatment due to their unique mechanisms and satisfactory safety.
