“…165 Surprisingly, in one study endocardial AF inducibility in patients without any AF history did not increase with age and even decreased in elderly patients ( 70yr . 166 These older patients had a significant longer AERP compared to younger patients (40yr . However, as wavelength, measured as the product of conduction velocity and ERP, is a more reliable predictive index for induction of atrial arrhythmias than conduction velocity or ERP alone, 167 the proarrhyhtmic e ect of slowing of conduction likely outweighs the protective e ect of prolongation of atrial refractoriness.…”
