Atrial Ionic Remodeling Induced by Atrial Tachycardia in the Presence of Congestive Heart Failure

Abstract

The presence of CHF alters AT-induced ionic remodeling. Thus, the ionic remodeling caused by cardiac arrhythmias in the presence of cardiac pathology is not necessarily predictable from the effects of either alone, with important potential implications for understanding the pathophysiology of arrhythmias in the diseased heart.
