The genetics of atrial fibrillation.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A substantial genetic contribution to the etiology of atrial fibrillation has emerged in the last decade, and has bolstered links between this arrhythmia and other forms of heart disease. In this article, we will summarize the work that has defined the inherited diathesis toward atrial fibrillation, outline the genetic studies to date, and characterize the roadblocks to a complete mechanistic...
