Atrial fibrotic remodeling is a dynamic process that is progressively increasing in non-AF patients, accentuated by congestive heart failure. The higher extent of LA remodeling observed in patients who developed AF could highlight either the fact that AF is an expression of a highly dynamic left atrial substrate, or that remodeling processes are accelerated by AF.
