Atrial hiPSC-CM as a pharmacological model to evaluate anti-AF drugs: Some lessons from IKur

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) and atrial hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) have entered the arena of preclinical AF research. We believe that the discrepancies indicate that experiments in single atrial CM (both adult atrial CM and atrial hiPSC-CM) might be misleading.
