The Early Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation for Stroke Prevention Trial (EAST-AFNET4) showed that early rhythm control (ERC) reduces a composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, and hospitalization for worsening heart failure (HF) or acute coronary syndrome compared with usual care (UC) when added to oral anticoagulation and therapy of concomitant cardiovascular conditions.The heritability of AF has been described as high as ∼62% in twins and ∼22% in the general population.
