Novel association of polymorphic genetic variants with predictors of outcome of catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation: new directions from a prospective study (DECAF)

摘要

Purpose Non-pulmonary vein (non-PV) triggers and left atrial (LA) scars perpetuate atrial fibrillation (AF) and limit the success rate of catheter ablation. In order to understand the genetic basis of these risk factors, we examined the association of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with scar and non-PV triggers.
