Abstract excerpt
AIMS: High adenosine plasma levels and high expression of adenosine A(2A) receptors are observed in patients with unexplained syncope and a positive head-up tilt test (HUT). This study aimed to evaluate the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (c.1364 T>C) which is the most commonly found polymorphism in the A(2A) receptor gene, in patients with unexplained syncope undergoing HUT. METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred...
