Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several common genetic variants have been associated with either ventricular fibrillation (VF) or sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, replication efforts have been limited. Therefore, we aimed to analyze whether such variants may contribute to VF caused by first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS: We analyzed 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) previously associated with SCD/VF...
