Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The P-Selectin Gene Polymorphism Val168Met. AIMS: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Family history of SCD is described as risk factor for primary VF during acute AMI. Genetic factors may be associated with primary VF. We examined polymorphisms in genes related to the activation and adhesion of blood...
