Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia [1] with significant morbidity and mortality [2]. Although management by rate or rhythm control are equally effective therapies in the management of AF [3–5] maintaining sinus rhythm may be beneficial in patients with symptoms or with other comorbidities [6]. Multiple antiarrhythmic drugs are available for use to prevent recurrent AF but are limited by modest efficacy and potentially serious side effects or toxicity [7, 8].

Lack of normal atrial systolic function in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF) decreases cardiac output by as much as 30% and may be symptomatic. AF increases the risk of stroke 5 to 8 times with a 2-fold higher risk of death [1, 2]. Treatment of AF currently involves strategies of sinus rhythm maintenance or control of ventricular rhythm frequency...
