Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is an indicator of cardiac function, usually assessed in individuals with heart failure and other cardiac conditions. Although family studies indicate that EF has an important genetic component with heritability estimates up to 0.61, to date only 6 EF-associated loci have been reported. METHODS: Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of EF in...
