Pulmonary Vein Myocardium as a Possible Pharmacological Target for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
The pulmonary vein has a unique electrophysiological property showing an autonomic electrical activity, and this phenomenon has been further focused on as a source of triggers of atrial fibrillation. The pulmonary vein cardiomyocytes have shorter action potential duration, less negative resting memb...
