The Antimalarial Chloroquine Reduces the Burden of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 In clinical practice, reducing the burden of persistent atrial fibrillation by pharmacological means is challenging. We explored if blocking the background and the acetylcholine-activated inward rectifier potassium currents (IK1 and IKACh) could be ...
