Abstract

There is accumulating evidence that genetic variation can cause or affect susceptibility to atrial fibrillation (AF) [1]. Although this argues for incorporation of genetic testing into clinical management, there is a lack of understanding of consumer interest in being tested and the value placed on genomic information about AF. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the perceived value of genetic testing for AF.
