A Simple In Vivo Atrial Fibrillation Model of Rat Induced by Transesophageal Atrial Burst Pacing

A simple in vivo closed-chest atrial fibrillation (Af) model of rats was developed. Af was reproducibly induced by transesophageal atrial burst pacing for 30 s in each of the pentobarbital-anesthetized rats, whereas the cardiohemodynamic condition as well as the inducibility and duration of Af episo...
