Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia with a strong genetic predisposition. Genome-wide association studies have highlighted CAV1 (caveolin 1), a caveolar protein involved in various signaling pathways, as a candidate for cardiac conduction disorders. METHODS: We explored the role of CAV1 in AF in various models to dissect possible disease mechanisms. First, CAV1...
