Moreover, the sequels of essential hypertension on rhythm disturbances is currently under vigorous investigation as an unexplored topic. Thus, the present study was conducted to investigate the contribution of the elasticity status of the great vessels to the genesis of atrial fibrillation in hypertensives. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/1063 | ISSN: | 15229645 | DOI: | 10.1093/eurheartj/ehq287 | Rights: | © European Society of Cardiology | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Hippokration General Hospital Attikon University Hospital Cyprus University of Technology |
