Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plasma concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is causally related to the risk of arteriosclerotic events. Whether ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) genetic variants predict increased LDL-C concentration (≥1.8 mmol/L) and risk of macro-/micro-vascular arteriosclerotic event remain elusive. METHODS: A total of 320 subjects with increased LDL-C concentration (≥1.8 mmol/L) and...
