Electrical Remodeling in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation May Be Mediated by Changes in the IKATP Channel

The goal of this study was to measure the effective refractory period (ERP), the conduction velocity (CV) and the wavelength (WL) after cardioversion in patients with persistent atria] fibrillation (AF) and to determine the effects of the adenosine triphosphate sensitive potassium channel (KATP) ope...
