Is fibrillatory excitation in the pulmonary vein associated with the presence of dissociated pulmonary vein activity after isolation?
Dissociated PV activity, although influenced by uncertain factors such as overdrive suppression and autonomic situations, would be an indicator of LA-PV bidirectional block and might not be the target of additional ablation after PVI.
EMT can induce cancer stem cell generation and tumor progression in thyroid cancers. Further understanding the role of EMT and cancer stem cells in cancer progression may reveal new preventive and therapeutic targets for thyroid cancers.
