Effects of Verapamil and Procainamide on Acute Atrial Electrical Remodeling Induced by Short-term Rapid Atrial Pacing in Humans

Effects of Verapamil and Procainamide on Acute Atrial Electrical Remodeling Induced by Short-term Rapid Atrial Pacing in Humans

Atrial electrical remodeling (ER) after spontaneous or pacing-induced atrial fibrillation has been previously described in humans. We investigated atrial ER induced by a 5-minute period of rapid atrial pacing and the pharmacologic effects of verapamil and procainamide on this atrial ER phenomenon. T...
