Abstract

BACKGROUND: Mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF) initiation are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that rate-dependent changes (restitution) in action potential duration (APD) and activation latency are central targets for clinical interventions that induce AF. We tested this hypothesis using clinical experiments and computer models. METHODS AND
RESULTS: In 50 patients (20 persistent, 23 paroxysmal AF, 7 controls), we used monophasic action potential catheters to define left atrial APD restitution, activation latency, and AF incidence from premature extrastimuli. Isoproterenol (n=14), adenosine (n=10), or rapid pacing (n=36) was then initiated to determine impact on these parameters. Compared with baseline in AF patients, isoproterenol and rapid pacing decreased activation latency (64±14 versus 31±13 versus 24±14 ms; P<0.05), steepened maximum APD restitution slope (0.8±0.7 versus 1.7±0.5 versus 1.1±0.5; P<0.05), and increased AF incidence (12% versus 64% versus 84%; P<0.05). Conversely, adenosine shortened APD (P<0.05), yet increased activation latency (86±27 ms; P=0.002) so that maximum APD restitution slope did not steepen (1.0±0.5; P=NS), and AF incidence was unchanged (10%; P=NS). In controls, no intervention steepened APD restitution or initiated AF. Computational modeling revealed that isoproterenol steepened APD restitution by increased L-type calcium current and decreased activation latency via enhanced rapid delayed potassium reactifier current inactivation, whereas rapid pacing steepened APD restitution via increased cardiac inward potassium rectifier current.
CONCLUSIONS: Steep APD restitution is a common pathway for AF initiation by isoproterenol and tachycardia via reduced activation latency that enables engagement of steep APD restitution at rapid rates. Modeling suggests that AF initiation from each intervention uses distinct ionic mechanisms. This insight may help design interventions to prevent AF.
