Preface
This publication contains the papers presented at a special Symposium on Atrial Fibrillation during the European Society of Cardiology 1991 meeting in Amsterdam, Holland. The scientific program was generously supported by Knoll Pharmaceuticals. As is evident from these papers there is a renewed interest in atrial fibrillation which has fuelled fresh investigative activity. Professor Peter Schwartz, well known for his contribution to the understanding of the long QT syndrome, offers a comprehensive and challenging approach to the role of the autonomic system in atrial fibrillation. Dr. Maurits Allessie brings us up to date on the pioneering work that he and Professor Michiel Janse have undertaken on the basic electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation; in the process they have exposed new areas for therapeutic attack. Dr. Michael Franz has made important contributions to the field of ventricular electrocardiography through his elegant monophasic action potential (MAP) recordings. Using knowledge gained in that research, he now turns his attention to how MAP recordings can reveal more about the process of fibrillation and how the phenomenon of postrepolarization refractoriness may be an important therapeutic factor.
