Abstract
In healthy adult pigs, atrial coronary flow is impeded by atrial contraction. Although atrial coronary blood flow is positively correlated with atrial external work, it reacts more slowly to changes in rate than ventricular flow. The occurrence of a pronounced hyperemic phase after acute AF supports the notion of a significant supply-demand mismatch during AF.
