Rare variants in genes encoding the cardiac sodium channel and associated compounds and their impact on outcome of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.

Rare variants of genes encoding the cardiac sodium channel and associated compounds have been linked with atrial fibrillation (AF). Nevertheless, current expert consensus does not support genetic testing in AF, which is in part based on the fact that "there is no therapeutic impact derived from...
