Incidences of atrial arrhythmic events during programmed electrical stimulation and incremental pacing in young and aged wild‐type (WT) and Pgc1β −/− hearts
S1S2 protocol | Incremental pacing | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Experimental group | Atrial tachycardia | Ectopic events | Atrial tachycardia | Ectopic events |
Young WT | 3/20 | 8/20 | 0/20 | 2/20 |
Aged WT | 4/23 | 8/23 | 1/23 | 4/23 |
Young Pgc1β −/− | 5/23 | 13/23 | 1/23 | 4/23 |
Aged Pgc1β −/− | 11/22* | 8/22 | 1/22 | 10/22* |
Data are represented as arrhythmic over total number studied. * P < 0.05 on Fisher exact testing.
