Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the U.S., Black Americans are less prone to develop AF than White Americans, but they display a higher burden of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and higher rates of ischemic stroke.

Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and an important risk factor for ischemic stroke resulting in a fivefold increased stroke risk. The clinical utility of polygenic risk scores for ischemic stroke prediction among atrial fibrillation patients has not yet been established.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, often attributed to a mix of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. While you can’t change your genetic code, having a family history of heart disease does not mean your fate is sealed.

It encompasses a range of conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure and arrhythmias. While lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise and smoking play a significant role in the development of heart disease, genetics also contribute substantially.
