Shunt and pace: a novel experimental model of atrial fibrillation with a volume-loaded left atrium

ConclusionThe animal model with a combination of LA volume load and electrical remodeling was relevant to human AF associated with LA volume load. Studies using the present model may provide further knowledges of AF and may be useful in examining the effects of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies.
