Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Experimental evidence suggests genetic variation in 4q25/PITX2 modulates pulmonary vein (PV) myocardial sleeve length. Although PV sleeves are the main target of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, little is known about the association between different PV sleeve characteristics with ablation outcomes. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate the association between clinical and genetic (4q25) risk...
