Abstrakt: Aims: Some atrial fibrillation (AF) patients develop excessive QTc prolongation and torsade de pointes when they take QTc-prolonging antiarrhythmic drugs (class IA/III) immediately after termination of AF. We hypothesized that this is caused by changes in ventricular repolarization during AF. We aimed to establish whether such ‘ventricular repolarization remodelling’ occurs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
