Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to identify possible genetic polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in systolic heart failure (sHF). METHODS: A total of 509 patients were enrolled into this study. A non-parsimonious multivariable logistic regression model that incorporated potential risk factors was applied to calculate the propensity score for developing sHF. A 1:1 case-control selection...
