Nevertheless, recent growing evidence points to an important heritable basis for atrial fibrillation, with significant genetic determinants. This paper reviews recent progress in understanding the role of genetic contributors to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation and its familial susceptibility. RECENT...
