Abstract excerpt
Atrial contractility and functional reserve in atrial remodeling (AR) without (AR/-AF) or with atrial fibrillation (AR/+AF) are not well characterized. In this study, functional measurements were performed in right atrial muscle strips (n = 71) obtained from patients (N = 22) undergoing routine cardiac surgery with either no AR [left atrial (LA) diameter < 40 mm and no history of AF (hAF)], AR/-AF (LA diameter ≥...
