Common genetic variation modulating cardiac ECG parameters and susceptibility to sudden cardiac death.

Abstract excerpt

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a prevalent cause of death in Western societies. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted over the last few years have uncovered common genetic variants modulating risk of SCD. Furthermore, GWAS studies uncovered several loci impacting on heart rate and ECG indices of conduction and repolarization, as measures of cardiac electrophysiological function and likely intermediate...
