abstract：:The inward rectifier potassium channel, Kir2.1, contributes to the I(K1) current in cardiac myocytes and is closely associated with atrial fibrillation. Strong evidences have shown that atrial dilatation or stretch may result in atrial fibrillation. However, the role of Kir2.1 channels in the stretch-mediated atrial f...
