The roles of alcohol dehydrogenase in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Alcohol consumption is known to increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether the genotypes of alcohol-metabolizing genes (alcohol dehydrogenase [ADH1B]) are associated with the risk of AF recurrence after catheter ablation remains unclear. ⋯ ADH1B*2/*2 genotype and amount of alcohol consumption increase the risk of AF recurrence after catheter ablation.
