• Abstract

  Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice and the simultaneous involvement of AF and congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with worsening of atrial structural remodeling, increasing the persistence of AF. Our group has developed a method of induction of CHF in rats by the technique of radiofrequency ablation. This model resulted in histo…
