A Cytokine-Like Protein Dickkopf-Related Protein 3 Is Atheroprotective.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Atrial dysrhythmia patients have exaggerated intra-atrial conduction delays and prolonged relative refractoriness in response to atrial premature depolarizations (APDs). Furthermore, atrial fibrillation (AF) is more readily inducible by APDs from the high right atrium (HRA) than the coronary sinus (CS). In t...
