Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous common polymorphisms associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). The 3 loci most strongly associated with AF occur at chromosome 4q25 (near PITX2), 16q22 (in ZFHX3), and 1q21 (in KCNN3). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether timing of AF recurrence after direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is modulated by common AF susceptibility alleles. METHODS: A...
