Abstract excerpt
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to increased inward rectifier potassium current, I(K1), either due to AF-induced electrical remodelling, or from functional changes due to the Kir2.1 V93I mutation. The aim of this simulation study was to identify at cell and tissue levels' mechanisms by which increased I(K1) facilitates and perpetuates AF. The Courtemanche et al. human atrial cell action potential (AP)...
