Brief description Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia presenting in cardiology departments worldwide and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. New treatment strategies are greatly needed. We have discovered that lower levels of a gene with protective properties in the heart causes AF in mice and is associated with AF in humans. This proposal will examine whether novel agents that target this gene can reduce or prevent AF.
