Comparative Study

Atrial fibrillation begets atrial fibrillation: autonomic mechanism for atrial electrical remodeling induced by short-term rapid atrial pacing.

The mechanism(s) for acute changes in electrophysiological properties of the atria during rapid pacing induced atrial fibrillation (AF) is not completely understood. We sought to evaluate the contribution of the intrinsic cardiac autonomic nervous system in acute atrial electrical remodeling and AF induced by 6-hour rapid atrial pacing. ⋯ The intrinsic cardiac autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in the acute stages of atrial electrical remodeling induced by rapid atrial pacing.
