Abstract

The present communication constitutes a proposal of attempting to restore interatrial electrical conduction in patients with interatrial block and malfunctioning Bachman's bundle, or other interatrial conduction pathways, employing carbon nanotube fibers (i.e., an “artificial Bachman's bundle”), in order to prevent emergence of atrial fibrillation, and by extension even possibly ameliorate or effectively treat paroxysmal/persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation.

期刊介绍： Under the editorial leadership of noted cardiologist Dr. Hector O. Ventura, Current Problems in Cardiology provides focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. Each monthly issues, addresses a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation; or explores the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research.
