Association of the angiotensinogen M235T polymorphism with recurrence after catheter ablation of acquired atrial fibrillation

Conclusions:
The M allele of M235T might be associated with an increased risk of AF recurrence after CA. Genotyping may thus be helpful on identifying patients with higher risks of AF recurrence after CA and developing optimal follow-up strategies. These strategies may differ and should be individualized according to patients’ genotype. Future studies are warranted to validate the potential effect of AGT M235T on AF recurrence post CA.
