| Abstract | Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. Despite the extensive studies, the pathophysiology of AF, however, remains incompletely understood. Studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress may be involved in cardiac structural and electrical remodeling. More recently, a growing body of evidence suggests that oxidative stress is associated with the development of AF. The evidence for the hypotheses included that: (1) histological studies have demonstrated oxidative damage in both AF patients and animal models of AF; (2) oxidative stress markers are increased in AF patients, and are associated with the presence of AF; (3) drugs that have antioxidant properties show beneficial effects on AF development. Although the studies suggest the association between oxidative stress and AF, the exact pathogenesis of oxidative stress in AF development remains elusive and requires further investigation. Specifically, the causality between oxidative stress and AF; the levels of the oxidative stress in various types of AFs and their role in the pathogenesis of AF; the effects of strategies to reduce oxidative stress on atrial structural and electrical remodeling, and their exact role in the development of AF. Oxidative stress may provide a scientific basis for further research on the underlying mechanisms of AF and may target for pharmacological interruption of AF. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
