In isolated rabbit atria, acetylcholine-induced fibrillation increases potassium efflux without altering influx, suggesting initiation involves increased sodium permeability rather than inhibited active potassium uptake.

Warrants no change in clinical AF care; leaves open mechanistic role of K+ efflux in human arrhythmia initiation.
Holland et al. (1959) studied this question.
