Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the atrial cellular electrophysiological mechanisms in humans are unclear. To investigate whether LVSD in patients who are in sinus rhythm (SR) is associated with atrial cellular electrophysiological changes which could predispose to AF. Right atrial myocytes were obtained from 214 consenting patients in SR who were undergoing cardiac surgery. Action potentials or ion currents were measured using the whole-cell-patch clamp technique. The presence of moderate or severe LVSD was associated with a shortened atrial cellular effective refractory period, ERP (209±8 ms; 52 cells, 18 patients vs 233±7 ms; 134 cells, 49 patients; P<0.05); confirmed by multiple linear regression analysis. The LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was markedly lower in patients with moderate or severe LVSD (36±4%, n=15) than in those without LVSD (62±2%, n=31; P<0.05). In cells from patients with LVEF≤45%, the ERP and action potential duration at 90% repolarisation were shorter than in those from patients with LVEF>45%, by 24 and 18%, respectively. The LVEF and ERP were positively correlated (r=0.65, P<0.05). The L-type calcium ion current, inward rectifier potassium ion current, and sustained outward ion current was unaffected by LVSD. The transient outward potassium ion current was decreased by 34%, with a positive shift in its activation voltage, and no change in its decay kinetics. LVSD in patients in SR is independently associated with a shortening of the atrial cellular ERP, which may be expected to contribute to a predisposition to AF.
