[Genetic Features of Factors of Inflammation and Fibrosis Possible Common Pathway of Formation of Predisposition to Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease].

Abstract excerpt

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have common pathogenetic mechanisms. It is obvious that hereditary predisposition also increases risk of both diseases. In this context consideration of genetic risk factors will enable in perspective distinguishing a group at highest risk among patients with COPD and become a basis for elaboration of novel approaches to treatment.
