The Association of the 4q25 Susceptibility Variant for Atrial Fibrillation With Stroke Is Limited to Stroke of Cardioembolic Etiology

TL;DR: The association of the rs1906591 variant on chromosome 4q25 with atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke of cardioembolic etiology was replicated, and the 4q 25 locus failed to associate with noncardiac subtypes of isChemic stroke.

Progress toward the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation: A summary of the Heart Rhythm Society Research Forum on the Treatment and Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation, Washington, DC, December 9-10, 2013.

TL;DR: The Heart Rhythm Society convened a research symposium on December 9-10, 2013, in Washington, DC, that focused on the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) as well as AF-related stroke and morbidity as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autonomic dysfunction is associated with brief episodes of atrial fibrillation in type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Multiple regression analysis showed that LF/HF ratio was an independent determinant of AF episodes, and originally showed a strong relationship between autonomic dysfunction and silent atrial fibrillation in type 2 diabetes.

Comparison of Effectiveness of Ranolazine Plus Amiodarone Versus Amiodarone Alone for Conversion of Recent-Onset Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: Addition of ranolazine to standard amiodarone therapy is equally safe and appears to be more effective compared to amodarone alone for conversion of recent-onset AF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome 4q25 variants are genetic modifiers of rare ion channel mutations associated with familial atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: Common AF-associated 4q25 polymorphisms modify the clinical expression of latent cardiac ion channel and signaling molecule gene mutations associated with familial AF and support the idea that the genetic architecture of AF is complex and includes both rare and common genetic variants.
