Post-operative atrial fibrillation examined using whole-genome RNA sequencing in human left atrial tissue

Abstract Background Both ambulatory atrial fibrillation (AF) and post-operative AF (poAF) are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Analyzing the tissue-specific gene expression in the left atrium (LA) can identify novel genes associated with AF and further the understanding of the me...
