The identification of 12 novel genetic loci associated with P-wave parameters may provide new therapeutic targets for modifying atrial conduction and treating atrial arrhythmias.
We have identified 6 novel genetic loci associated with P-wave duration and 6 novel loci associated with P-wave terminal force. Future studies of these loci may aid in identifying new targets for drugs that may modify atrial conduction or treat atrial arrhythmias.
Christophersen et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
