Is There an Optimal Pacing Site to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation?: An Experimental Study in the Chronically Instrumented Goat

Preventive Atrial Pacing in AF. Introduction: Atrial pacing can reduce the number of recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF). It is unclear the extent to which this effect is determined by the site(s) of pacing.
