Research progress of β3 adrenergic receptor and myocardial metabolic remodeling of atrial fibrillation

With atrial fibrillation (AF), metabolic remodeling can occur in the atrium and promote the occurrence and persistence of AF. The two mutually promote, forming a vicious spiral, further aggravating the AF. Research shows that β3 adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) is closely related to the myocardial electrical remodeling and structural remodeling of AF, but there have been relatively few reports concerning the effect of β3-AR on myocardial energy metabolism remodeling of AF. This review explores the relationship between β3-AR and myocardial energy metabolism remodeling of AF in order to find new targets for clinical treatment of AF.
