Development of prediction and prevention of cardiac arrhythmias is necessary. Routine 12-lead 10-sec ECG is widely available and inexpensive. ECG can be also easily monitored via ECG patches. Study design: a prospective cohort. Routine 12-lead digital ECG at baseline, for measurement of electrophysiological phenomena. Outcomes: (1) genome; to study biology behind electrophysiological substrates. (2) cardiac arrhythmias... more »

Research in Asia vs. findings in U.S. suggest risk of ischemic stroke AND bleeding with oral anticoagulant may be higher in East Asian vs. non-Asian AF patients. However, data is lacking in Asians living in the U.S. With its diversity goal, AoU is expected to recruit substantive number of Asian Americans.
