Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Electrocardiographic traits are important, substantially heritable determinants of risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, 3 population-based cohorts (n=10,526) genotyped with the Illumina HumanCVD Beadchip and 4 quantitative electrocardiographic traits (PR interval, QRS axis, QRS duration, and QTc interval) were evaluated for single-nucleotide polymorphism...
