Popis: 557 Determinants of altered atrial Na+-Ca2+ exchanger function in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation {#article-title-2} Purpose: Dysfunctional Na+-Ca2+ exchanger type-1 (NCX1) is implicated in atrial fibrillation (AF) triggers/drivers, but the mechanisms of NCX abnormalities in AF patients are unknown and were addressed here. Methods: Transient inward current (Iti) was recorded with perforated patch-clamp technique in atrial myocytes from sinus rhythm (Ctl) and chronic AF (cAF) patients. The NCX1 macromolecular complex proteins were detected in atrial lysates, membrane and cytosolic fractions, or immunoprecipitates (IPs) with Western blot. Results: In cAF myocytes, we detected a higher frequency of Iti current (5.21±2.20 vs. 0.49±0.35 Iti min-1 in Ctl, P
