pubmed:abstractText |
Recent studies have shown that idiopathic atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with diminished myocardial perfusion and perfusion reserve, which are also impaired in various forms of cardiomyopathies. In many cases, AF develops during progression of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and may aggravate heart failure. This study compared myocardial perfusion between patients with nonischemic DCM with and without AF.
