Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> and objective: Head-up tilt test (HUTT) is clinically advantageous for diagnosing patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS). Nitroglycerin is mainly used as a stimulant during HUTT, and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is involved in the metabolism of nitroglycerin (NTG). ALDH2 is the most common variant in the East Asian population. This study aimed to assess the effects of ALDH2 G...
