Popis: Factor Xa inhibitors reduce stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary veins (PVs) and the sinoatrial node (SAN) are crucial for genesis of atrial fibrillation. However, the electrophysiological effects of factor Xa inhibitors (edoxaban and rivaroxaban) on PVs and the SAN remain unclear. Conventional microelectrodes were used to record the action potential in isolated rabbit PVs and SAN preparations before and after administration of edoxaban (0.1, 0.3, and 1 μM) or rivaroxaban (0.01, 0.03, 0.1, and 0.3 μM). A whole-cell patch-clamp was used to record the late sodium current (INa-late) in isolated single rabbit PV cardiomyocytes. Edoxaban significantly reduced PV spontaneous beating rates at 0.3 and 1 μM (N = 6 rabbits, P
