Impaired coronary blood flow at higher heart rates during atrial fibrillation: investigation via multiscale modelling [PDF]
, 2019 Background. Different mechanisms have been proposed to relate atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary flow impairment, even in absence of relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the underlying hemodynamics remains unclear.
