AF Genetics: Is There a Practical Clinical Value Now or In The Future?

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is heritable and in recent years many genetic loci have been associated with the arrhythmia. Current efforts are directed at determining if AF genetic data can be used to refine clinical risk prediction, predict response to medical or procedural treatments, or help to determ...

Zusammenfassung:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is heritable and in recent years many genetic loci have been associated with the arrhythmia. Current efforts are directed at determining if AF genetic data can be used to refine clinical risk prediction, predict response to medical or procedural treatments, or help to determine the sequelea of AF such as heart failure and stroke.
