Different mechanisms have been proposed to relate atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary flow impairment, even in absence of relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the underlying hemodynamics remains unclear. Aim of the present work is to computationally explore whether and to what extent ventricular rate during AF affects the coronary perfusion.\n  Methods. AF is simulated at different ventricular rates (50, 70, 90, 110, 130 bpm) through a 0D-1D multiscale validated model, which combines the left heart-arterial tree together with the coronary circulation.
