Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Electrocardiography is one of the most valuable noninvasive diagnostic tools in determining the presence of many cardiovascular diseases. Genetic factors are important in determining ECG abnormalities and their link to cardiovascular diseases. Genome-wide association studies and polygenic risk scores (PRSs) have been conducted for various ECG traits such as QT interval and QRS duration. However, these...
