The atrial potential duration (APD) restitution has been suggested to play an important role in ventricular fibrillation; however, its role in atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been determined. This study sought to investigate the APD restitution properties in two different AF models: vagally mediated AF and 6-h rapid atrial pacing-induced AF.
