Description

The description below was taken directly from the NCBI database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP):

The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Atrial Fibrillation Study was initiated in 2001. The study has enrolled serial probands, unaffected and affected family members with atrial fibrillation. At enrollment participants undergo a structured interview to systematically capture their past medical history, AF treatments, and family history. An electrocardiogram is performed; the results of an echocardiogram are obtained; and blood samples are obtained.

The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Atrial Fibrillation Study is utilized in the following dbGaP substudies.
