Abstract excerpt
AIM: SLCO1B1 variants are associated with intermediate outcomes that may increase risk of death/myocardial infarction (MI) in statin-treated patients. PATIENTS & METHODS: In high-risk Caucasians undergoing cardiac catheterization, we tested the association between rs4149056/625T>C and rs2306283/492A>G with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) over 3 years (n = 1402) and death/MI over 6 years (n = 2994),...
