Background-Congestive heart failure (CHF) is frequently associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), but little is known about the effects of CHF on atrial cellular electrophysiology.Methods and Results-We studied action potential (AP) properties and ionic currents in atrial myocytes from dogs with CHF induced by ventricular pacing at 220 to 240 bpm for 5 weeks. Atrial myocytes from CHF dogs were hypertrophied (mean+/-SEM capacitance, 89+/-2 pF versus 71+/-2 pF in control, n=160 cells per group, P
