Figure 8.

Hypertension-related oxidative stress and mutANP accelerate PAO formation, leading to proarrhythmic electrical remodeling and mitochondrial dysfunction. Modulation of ion channel function underlies action potential changes, while reduced mitochondrial biogenesis/ATP production and increased ROS further promote the AF substrate.
