Genetic variants associated with abnormal atrial activation
Several network members co-authored a recent article in Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology on the association between two genetic variants and altered P-wave morphology, reflecting abnormal atrial conduction. The same genetic variants, rs3807989 (CAV1/CAV2) and rs11047543 (SOX5), have previously been associated… Read More ›
