Abstract
Even though atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia, the mechanism of development is not yet clear. Recently, there has been several reports that the most frequent source of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is located inside pulmonary vein. Recently we successfully isolated single cardiac myocytes which were inside of pulmonary vein and reported the spontaneous action potential was generated from these cells.(omitted)
