Abstract excerpt
AIM: Mink protein, a beta-subunit of I(ks) potassium channels modulate cardiac cellular electrophysiology, and experimental data demonstrated that NO is involved in cardiac vagal activity and in the inhibition of sympathetic activity. We evaluated the role of eNOS -786T>C, 894G>T, 4a/4b and of minK S38G polymorphisms as predisposing factors to non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). METHODS AND RESULTS: We...
