Abstract excerpt
AIMS: High-risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been recently identified as risk factors for ischemic heart disease in large epidemiological and genome-wide association studies. However, their influence on prognosis remains uncertain. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of previously identified SNPs and their joint effects in a genetic score (GS) on Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACEs)....
