Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Previous studies showed that genetic variants of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene conferred higher risk for acquired atrial fibrillation (AF). The present study investigated whether AGT variants correlate with the clinical outcome in patients with acquired AF after catheter ablation (CA). METHODS: A total of 150 acquired symptomatic drug-refractory AF patients (mean age 63.7±11.0 years, 24.6%...
