Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Excess iron stores have been postulated to enhance the risk of ischaemic heart disease. This study aims to determine whether the two major mutations of the haemochromatosis (HFE) gene (C282Y and H63D) are associated with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or myocardial infarction (MI). DESIGN: Cross sectional case-control study. SETTING: The geographical area studied by the MONICA (monitoring trends and...
