¿Es la Fibrilación Auricular un Desorden Inflamatorio?: Farmacoterapía.
En la actualidad existe un creciente cuerpo de evidencia que vinculan los procesos inflamatorios con amplio espectro de condiciones cardiovasculares, tales como la enfermedad de la arteria coronaria (CAD), la resistencia a la insulina y diabetes mellitus , e hipertensión. En adición nuevos datos emergentes apoyan la asociación entre la inflamación y FA. Esto ha creado un campo excitante de oportunidades potenciales orientados hacia los procesos inflamatorios de la FA., dado lugar a un cambio de paradigma de un enfoque más "eléctrico" a un enfoque más "estructural", y uso de agentes que pueden influir en los procesos inflamatorios en FA.

The restitution hypothesis
states that steeply sloped restitution curves create unstable wave
propagation that results in wave break, that is, the cardiac action
potential duration (APD) and its conduction velocity (CV) both depend on
the previous diastolic interval (DI).
A drug that reduces the slope of the curve should have antifibrillatory effects.
Transthoracic DFT increased by approximately 50%, whereas transmyocardial DFT increased by approximately 100% in a separate group of dogs. These effects of adenosine on DFT were abolished when the dogs
were autonomically denervated, suggesting that the deleterious effects
of adenosine on DFT are due to its antiadrenergic mechanism of action.
These data indicate that adenosine release during VF can markedly increase DFT. Since adenosine myocardial release during VF is time dependent, it is likely that adenosine plays a role in mediating the increase in threshold that is dependent on the duration of VF.
