Article Synopsis
  • * It involved 32 patients and found that 22% relapsed to atrial fibrillation within six weeks, with the pre-cardioversion AFR being similar between those who maintained sinus rhythm and those who did not.
  • * The conclusion was that AFR did not predict sinus rhythm maintenance in these patients, contradicting previous research suggesting a link.

Background: Abnormal P-wave morphology (PWM) has been associated with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) in earlier studies. Although lone AF is believed to have substantial genetic basis, studies on associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) linked to lone AF and PWM have not been reported. We aimed to assess whether SNPs previously associated with lone AF (rs2200733, rs13376333, rs3807989, and rs11047543) are also linked to P-wave abnormalities.
