Clinical outcomes after ablation and pacing therapy for atrial fibrillation : a meta-analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Genetic polymorphisms at codons 16 and 27 of the beta2-adrenergic receptor have been associated with altered response to sympathetic stimulation. We examined these polymorphisms in relation to cardiovascular event risk in the Cardiovascular Health Study. METHODS AND RESULTS:A total of 808 black and 4441 whi...
