Effect of NK-3R stimulation on ERP and AF inducibility in atria of human and rabbit. a Unipolar electrograms recorded from the left atrium of a Langendorff-perfused rabbit heart before (Control) and after application of 20 nM of Senktide (left). Bar graph showing average values for AERP in Control, in the presence of 20 nM Senktide, and after wash-out (right, N = 7, one-way RM ANOVA). b Unipolar electrograms recorded from human LAA before (Control) and after application of 100 nM of Senktide (left). Bar graph showing average values for AERP in Control and in the presence of 50–200 nmol/L Senktide (right, N = 5, paired t-test, p = 0.06). c Unipolar electrograms recorded from the left atrium of a rabbit Langendorff-perfused heart following a burst pacing protocol in the absence (Control, left) and in the presence of 20 nM of the NK-3R agonist Senktide (right), at baseline (0 cm H2O, upper tracings) and during atrial dilatation (20 cm H2O, lower tracings). d, e Bar graph showing average values for total duration of arrhythmia episodes d and AF incidence e in Control, after application of 20 nM Senktide, and after wash-out (N = 7, two-way RM ANOVA). All values shown are mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05. Electrograms: A atrial activation; V ventricular activation; * stimulus
