Abstract excerpt
For many patients with atrial fibrillation, ventricular rate control with atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockers is considered first-line therapy, although response to treatment is highly variable. Using an extreme phenotype of failure of rate control necessitating AV nodal ablation and pacemaker implantation, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genomic modulators of rate control...
