Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: One potential use for the PR interval is as a biomarker of disease risk. We hypothesized that quantifying the shared genetic architectures of the PR interval and a set of clinical phenotypes would identify genetic mechanisms contributing to PR variability and identify diseases associated with a genetic predictor of PR variability. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used ECG measurements from the ARIC study...
