A preliminary assessment of the effects of ATI-2042 in subjects with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation using implanted pacemaker methodology [PDF]
, 2009 Aims ATI-2042 (budiodarone) is a chemical analogue of amiodarone with a half life of 7 h. It is electrophysiologically similar to amiodarone, but may not have metabolic and interaction side effects.

HL-1 cells express an inwardly rectifying K+ current activated via muscarinic receptors comparable to that in mouse atrial myocytes [PDF]
, 2010 An inwardly rectifying K^+ current is present in atrial cardiac myocytes that is activated by acetylcholine (I_{KACh}). Physiologically, activation of the current in the SA node is important in slowing the heart rate with increased parasympathetic tone ...

Shortness of breath on a mustard patient: multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground Dextro-transposition of the great arteries post-atrial switch patients may experience complications like baffle stenosis. While percutaneous interventions are the standard treatment, severe calcification can require uncommon alternatives such ...
