Chloroquine Terminates Stretch-Induced Atrial Fibrillation More Effectively than Flecainide in the Sheep Heart

BACKGROUND: Blockade of inward-rectifier K(+) channels by chloroquine terminates reentry in cholinergic atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is unknown whether inward-rectifier K(+) channels and reentry are also important in maintaining stretch-induced AF (SAF). We surmised that reentry underlies S...
