Genes associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) are not uniformly expressed in the atrial myocardium. Whether this may impact susceptibility to atrial fibrillation (AF) is unresolved. To analyze the prevalence and clinical correlates of AF in relation to genotype in a large HC cohort, prevalence and clinical profile of AF were assessed in 237 patients with HC, followed for 14 ± 10 years. Patients were...
