    I just found your web site and read the post about the role of genetics in Atrial Fibrillation. I don’t doubt the link at all. My grandma had it, my mom has it and out of 5 kids we all have it. I’m the youngest and haven’t been officially diagnosed (though I have the symptoms) but my four siblings have.
    Thanks for this web site and for providing so much information.
