Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The endothelin (ET) system plays a central role in the control of myocardial function and its pathophysiology. The aim of the present study was to explore whether genetic variations of ET-1 (G/T substitution that predicts an Lys/Asn change at codon 198) and its receptor ET(A) (T/C in exon 6, H323H) could predispose carriers to heart failure (HF). METHODS: Genotyping at these two loci was done in 122...
