Meta-analysis identifies six new susceptibility loci for atrial fibrillation

Patrick T. Ellinor, +101 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Six new atrial fibrillation susceptibility loci implicate candidate genes that encode transcription factors related to cardiopulmonary development, cardiac-expressed ion channels and cell signaling molecules that are associated with stroke, heart failure and death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium-Handling Abnormalities Underlying Atrial Arrhythmogenesis and Contractile Dysfunction in Dogs With Congestive Heart Failure

TL;DR: Congestive heart failure causes profound changes in Ca2-handling and -regulatory proteins that produce atrial fibrillation–promoting atrial cardiomyocyte Ca2+-handing abnormalities, arrhythmogenic triggered activity, and contractile dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stability of Circulating Blood-Based MicroRNAs - Pre-Analytic Methodological Considerations.

TL;DR: This study highlights the importance of proper and systematic sample collection and preparation when measuring circulating miRNAs, e.g., in context of clinical trials and demonstrated that the type of collection tubes, preparation, handling and storage of samples should be standardized to avoid confounding variables influencing the results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Atrial Tachyarrhythmias Associated With Coronary Artery Occlusion in a Chronic Canine Model

TL;DR: Chronic atrial infarction in dogs promotes both AF triggers and the substrate for AF maintenance, and novel insights into potential AF mechanisms in patients with coronary artery disease are provided.
