Figure 2: Time-dependent Atrial Remodelling and Development of Atrial Fibrillation.

Figure 2:

A hypothetic construct over time indicating the interrelationship between time, risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial remodelling, detection of risk factors for atrial remodelling and progression from sinus rhythm (SR) through paroxysmal and persistent to permanent AF.
