Altered Transient Outward Current in Human Atrial Myocytes of Patients with Reduced Left Ventricular Function

Ito1 in Human Atrium and Heart Failure. Introduction: Electrophysicologic remodeling is involved in the self‐perpetuation of atrial fibrillation. To define whether differences in atrial electrophysiology already are present in patients with increased susceptibility for atrial fibrillation, we compared patients in sinus rhythm with and without heart failure.
