Despite adequate rate control, the combination of atrial fibrillation with heart failure (HF) has been shown, in a number of studies, to hasten HF progression. In this context, we aimed to test the hypothesis that an irregular ventricular rhythm causes an alteration in ventricular cardiomyocyte excitation-contraction coupling which contributes to the progression of HF.
