Fifteen Genetic Loci Associated With the Electrocardiographic P Wave [Original Articles]

Conclusions—
We have identified 6 novel genetic loci associated with P-wave duration and 6 novel loci associated with P-wave terminal force. Future studies of these loci may aid in identifying new targets for drugs that may modify atrial conduction or treat atrial arrhythmias.
