Racial difference in atrial size and extracellular matrix homeostatic response to hypertension: Is this a potential mechanism of reduced atrial fibrillation in African Americans?

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is less common in African Americans (AA) than Caucasians (C) despite a higher prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension (HTN). OBJECTIVE: Test the hypothesis that differences in extracellular matrix (ECM) between AA and C in response to HTN might attenuate...
