Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia. Despite significant progress in identification of predisposing factors, the pathophysiology of AF remains to be elucidated. Previous studies have reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in potassium-channel genes associate with AF and the instantaneous corrected QT interval (QTc). The purpose of this study was to...
