  2. Fibrillogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrillogenesis

    Fibrillogenesis is the development of fine fibrils normally present in collagen fibers of connective tissue.It is derived from the New Latin fibrilla (meaning fibrils, or pertaining to fibrils) and Greek genesis (to create, the process by which something is created).

  3. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

    Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

  4. Palpitations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpitations

    The cardiac etiologies of palpitations are the most life-threatening and include ventricular sources (premature ventricular contractions (PVC), ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), atrial sources (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) high output states (anemia, AV fistula, Paget's disease of bone or pregnancy), structural ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmia

    Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter resulted in 112,000 deaths in 2013, up from 29,000 in 1990. [10] However, in most recent cases concerning the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic, cardiac arrhythmias are commonly developed and associated with high morbidity and mortality among patients hospitalized with the COVID-19 infection, due to the infection's ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

    Collagen is also abundant in corneas, blood vessels, the gut, intervertebral discs, and the dentin in teeth. [3] In muscle tissue, it serves as a major component of the endomysium. Collagen constitutes 1% to 2% of muscle tissue and accounts for 6% of the weight to skeletal muscle. [4] The fibroblast is the most common cell creating collagen in ...

  7. Fibrillation - Wikipedia

    Fibrillation is the rapid, irregular, and unsynchronized contraction of muscle fibers. An important occurrence is with regard to the heart. Cardiology.

  8. Fibril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibril

    Since collagen fibrils have almost 50 binding components in vivo, the definite requirement to generate fibrillogenesis in vivo is still cryptic. [ 9 ] With acidic or saline solution, collagen can be extracted from tissues and rearrange into fibril by changing temperature or pH value. [ 10 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyaline_cartilage

    Hyaline cartilage is the most common kind of cartilage in the human body. [2] It is primarily composed of type II collagen and proteoglycans. [2] Hyaline cartilage is located in the trachea, nose, epiphyseal plate, sternum, and ribs.
