Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Low vitamin D level is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and may be implicated in its pathogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of vitamin D mechanistic pathways and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in an age- and gender-matched case-control study (controls without AF: mean age 68.6 ± 8.7 years, female 25%; n = 1019; with AF: mean age...
