The molecular genetic basis of atrial fibrillation.

Abstract excerpt

As the most common cardiac arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for stroke, heart failure, and premature death with considerable associated costs. However, no available treatment options have optimal benefit-harm profiles currently, reflecting an incomplete understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying this complex arrhythmia. Recently, molecular epidemiological studies, especially...
