Abstract:
6 months (n=12), control group, without AF (n=8). Atrial muscle samples of the left and right atrial appendage were cut off during heart valve replacement. Expressions of Cx40 and Cx43 were detected by immunoblotting and immunohistologic analyses. Results ①No obvious change of Cx43 and Cx40 in the left and right atrium of each patient in each group was measured. ②Compared with that in the control group, the level of Cx40 was decreased signficantly in GroupⅠ (P
