Abstract
In the study of the sequence of depolarization of the atrial subepicardium of rats in the short-term alcohol consumption model (the "Holiday heart" syndrome), the localization of the sources of atrial arrhythmias was determined for the first time. The difference in the excitation of the right and left atria was discovered: the right atrium is activated anterogradely from the sinoatrial node, whereas the left atrium is activated retrogradely from the ectopic focus located in the left auricular appendage.
