 Abstract this paper reviews the current state of genomic approaches used to investigate genes associated with atrial fibrillation, AF, heart failure, HF, and other cardiovascular diseases, CVD. The authors selected 190 genes associated with AF and 26 genes linked to HF. Seven genes were found to be involved in both AF and HF, namely SYNPO2L, TTN, MTSS1, SCN5A, PITX2, KLHL3, and AGAP5. The authors concluded that genomic approaches involving the integration of genomic data, analysis of common and rare genetic variants, metadata and phenotypic details, and multi-ethnic studies including individuals from ethnic minorities, and European, Asian, and American ancestries are essential for understanding the underlying causes of AF and HF.
