Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is reaching epidemic proportions in the aging U.S. and European populations, but the mechanisms of increased susceptibility to atrial fibrillation are still unknown. In this study, we look to further examine genetic and medical co-morbidity influence of atrial fibrillation duration and response to medications. In Specific Aim 1, we propose the creation of a Veterans Affairs AF Biorepository (VAAFBio), which is a resource that will collect and store clinical, demographic, blood and DNA samples from patients with atrial fibrillation to aide this study and future studies of this type in the VA population. In Specific Aim 2, examine common genetic polymorphisms in veteran patients with atrial fibrillation and examine gene-environment interactions with risk factors for atrial fibrillation.

Investigators

No overall officials are registered on this study record. Site-level investigators, where published, appear with their sites below. Why? →

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

Recruiting

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.

Drugs studied

No drug or biological interventions are in our data for this study. It may test a procedure, device or behavioral intervention, or the intervention list isn't in our current snapshot. See the registry record ↗. Why? →
