Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and its ultimate consequence - myocardial infarction (MI) - are major causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Previous studies have demonstrated the role of genetic polymorphisms in the risk of SCD and ventricular arrhythmia (VA) during MI. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes implicated in congenital cardiac...
