Abstract

Background: Heterogeneous conduction with areas of slow conduction has been shown to be the electrophysiologic substrate responsible for AF vulnerability in a canine model of chronic mitral regurgitation (MR). ZP 123 is a hexapeptide that augments gap junction conductance, improving cell coupling. We studied its effects on this animal model and in control animals to test the hypothesis that improvement in atrial conduction would decrease the vulnerability to AF.
