Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To examine the heritability of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Icelanders, utilizing a nationwide genealogy database and population-based data on AF. AF is a disorder with a high prevalence, which has been known to cluster in families, but the heritability of the common form has not been well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study population included 5269 patients diagnosed since 1987 and age-sex-matched...
