Özet

Intraatrial conduction delay in atrial Fibrillation (AF) that is considered a component of atrial electrical remodeling has been demonstrated previously in experimental models and it is considered an important factor for the induction or stabilization of AF. However, it is not known if this phenomenon exists in human AF. The present study aimed to compare intraatrial conduction time (IACT) in patients with chronic atria] fibrillation who were converted to sinus rhythm and a matched control group, and to investigate its relation with early AF recurrence.
