Conversion of infarction-associated atrial fibrillation by restoration of atrial perfusion.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The presence or absence of collateral circulation to the infarct-related coronary artery in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) significantly impacts on infarct size and resulting left ventricular function. However, the determinants of collateral development have not been clarified. HYPOTHESIS:The purpose of ...
