Why the study?
Does acute biatrial pacing alter atrial depolarization and repolarization compared to right atrial pacing in patients with and without atrial fibrillation?
Does acute biatrial pacing alter atrial depolarization and repolarization compared to right atrial pacing in patients with and without atrial fibrillation?
Acute biatrial pacing shortens global biatrial depolarization (P wave duration) but does not affect atrial repolarization (effective refractory periods) compared to right atrial pacing.

Acute biatrial pacing effects may guide future multisite strategies; leaves open impact on AF outcomes pending randomized trials.
