Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia in a Giant Right Atrium [PDF]
JACC: Case Reports, 2020 A 25-year-old male patient with a giant right atrium presented with atrial tachycardia. Electroanatomic mapping revealed micro–re-entry from a low-voltage zone in the region of the right atrial appendage.

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2012 This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

Atrial cellular electrophysiological changes in patients with ventricular dysfunction may predispose to AF [PDF]
, 2009 <b>Background:</b> Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the atrial cellular electrophysiological mechanisms in humans are unclear.

The sophisticated architecture of the rat atrioventricular node [PDF]
, 2005 In the mammalian heart, the action potential spontaneously generated in the sinoatrial (SA) node propagates through the atria to reach the atrioventricular (AV) node.

Duration of heart failure and the risk of atrial fibrillation: different mechanisms at different times? [PDF]
, 2009 Chronic heart failure increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), with the prevalence of AF paralleling the severity of heart failure.1 Factors that underlie this increased susceptibility to AF may include electrical, structural, and neurohumoral ...

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.

Mechanisms of termination and prevention of atrial fibrillation by drug therapy [PDF]
, 2011 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a disorder of the rhythm of electrical activation of the cardiac atria. It is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, has multiple aetiologies, and increases the risk of death from stroke.
