α rhythm
1.Basic rhythm of δ, θ, α, β was isolated to extract the purified sleep EEG signal.
2.Compared to patients in sinus rhythm, mRNA expression of theα1C subunit was significantly reduced in patients with CAF, and mildly down-regulated in patients with PAF. Significant correlation was found between the mRNA expression of α1c subunit and mean atrial rate and left arial diameter. There was significant difference between above three groups after the effect of atrial diameter was corrected by one-way ANOVA.
