Electrophysiological Effects of Selective Atrial Coronary Artery Occlusion in Humans.

CONCLUSIONS: -Selective atrial coronary artery occlusion during elective PTCA is associated with myocardial ischemic damage, atrial arrhythmias, and intra-atrial conduction delay. Our data suggest that atrial ischemic episodes might be considered as a potential cause of atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic coronary artery disease.
