Minor allele of GJA1 gene polymorphism is associated with higher heart rate during atrial fibrillation

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) tachycardia causes heart failure and requires more attention. The genetic background of individual heart rate (HR) variations during AF are unclear. We hypothesized that HR-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reported in Genome-Wide Association Studies...
