Abstract excerpt
Essentials We studied the C-reactive protein (CRP) gene on stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. 725 patients with CRP triallelic polymorphism genotype were followed-up for more than 10 years. Patients with the A-390/T-390 allele of the CRP gene were more likely to get ischemic stroke. The triallelic polymorphism of the CRP is related to ischemic stroke in AF patients. SUMMARY: Background Little...
