Our funded projects include a study of interactions among genomics, aging and metabolism and a clinical trial of metformin and lifestyle modifications for reducing AF burden.
Beyond the Binary in Atrial Fibrillation: AHA Statement Calls for Focus on AF Burden
Understanding of atrial fibrillation (AF) risk factors and complications is based largely on studies that haven’t assessed AF burden. Our expert explains why that needs to change.
Genetic Control of Left Atrial Gene Expression: A New Window into AFib Risk
A new study identified genes and genetic variations associated with 12 loci linked to risk for atrial fibrillation. The result is a genome-wide catalog to facilitate follow-on investigations.
A Boost for Efforts to Uncover Functional Genomics of Afib
Cleveland Clinic researchers explain how they’ll use a new $3.1 million NHLBI grant to create and manipulate cardiac myocytes to better understand risk variants in genes linked to atrial fibrillation.
