Macrophages mess with ❤️ rhythm ⚡️ transcriptomics and protein data describe 3-fold expansion of these leukocytes in patients with atrial fibrillation. Among the top expressed genes: osteopontin (SPP1), catalyzing atrial fibrosis and inflammation ❤️‍🔥 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Monocyte-derived SPP1+ macrophages elicit AF. The ubiquity of these macrophages is remarkable!
