Abstract:
Ligament of Marshall(LOM) is a bunch of epicardial structural deterioration.Because of its complex histological structure and electrophysiological properties, LOM plays an important role in the occurrence and maintenances of atrial fibrillation(AF).In addition, more and more studies indicated that ablation of LOM could effect the clinical result of AF treatment.We reviews on the anatomy, electrophysiological characteristics of LOM and the interrelationship between LOM and AF.
