Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia and is associated
with increased morbidity and mortality. The incidence of AF is expected to continue to rise …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical
practice, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Electrophysiologically, it is …

Aims Genetic factors may be important in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the
young. KCNA5 encodes the potassium channel α-subunit KV1. 5, which underlies the …

Background—Pitx2 is the homeobox gene located in proximity to the human 4q25 familial
atrial fibrillation (AF) locus. When deleted in the mouse germline, Pitx2 haploinsufficiency …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia. Better prevention and treatment of AF are
needed to reduce AF‐associated morbidity and mortality. There are several major …

Background Although largely preventable, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the biggest
cause of death worldwide. Common complex cardiovascular disorders (eg, coronary heart …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), defined by disorganized atrial cardiac rhythm, is the most prevalent
cardiac arrhythmia worldwide. Recent genetic studies have highlighted a major heritable …

Cardiac development is a complex morphogenetic process initiated as bilateral cardiogenic
mesoderm is specified at both sides of the gastrulating embryo. Soon thereafter, these …

Electrocardiograms (ECGs) have been employed to medically evaluate participants in
population-based studies, and ECG-derived predictors have been reported for incident atrial …

Aims Previous studies indicate that South Asians (SAs) may have a reduced risk of
developing atrial fibrillation (AF) despite having a higher prevalence of traditional …
