Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial tachycardia (AT) after infant congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery is associated with increased mortality. Polymorphisms in PITX2 (rs2200733) and IL6 (rs1800795) are associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation in adults but have not been studied in CHD. The objective was to test the hypothesis that clinical factors and variants in PITX2 and IL6 are associated with postoperative AT in...
