Atrial Electrophysiological Properties of Normothermic Ex Situ Perfused Hearts Donated after Circulatory Death.
BACKGROUND Donation after circulatory death (DCD) hearts undergo warm and cold ischemia before transplantation. Atrial ischemia is an important contributor to development of electrophysiological abnormalities and post-transplantation atrial arrhythmias. The purpose of this study was to characterize atrial electrophysio...
