Association of <em>KCNH2</em> Gene Expression with Atrial Fibrillation in an African Population

2025-11-06

Abstract excerpt

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, is associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart failure, with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to its pathophysiology. Emerging evidence suggests that KCNH2 gene dysregulation may play a role in arrhythmogenesis, yet data in African populations remain limited. This study investigated KCNH2 gene expression in AF patients and i...
