Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) have been associated with myocardial infarction (MI), while the role of genetic risk factors (GRF) remains undetermined. METHODS: Cineventriculograms of 3436 were analyzed for presence of regional function impairment as sign of MI. Genotyping for genetic polymorphism (vitamin D receptor VDR BsmI, interleukin-6 IL6-174 G/C, chemokine receptor 2 CCR2 64 V/I) was...
