More dysfunction.
[edit]In addition to interference in cardiac propagation of electrical signals, an article I am reading states the following:
"The excessive subepithelial collagen deposition is located beneath the basement membrane and seems to be caused by myofibroblast dysfunction, leading to collagen overproduction with ECM-remodeling, as well as an imbalance between fibrogenesis and fibrinolysis which results in an impaired degradation of ECM proteins."
