Why the study?
Does the AGTR1 1166C allele increase the progression of arterial stiffness in a middle-aged population over 16 years?
Does the AGTR1 1166C allele increase the progression of arterial stiffness in a middle-aged population over 16 years?
The AGTR1 1166C allele is associated with a significantly greater progression of arterial stiffness during aging, particularly after age 55.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
AGTR1 1166C was associated with faster arterial stiffness progression; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Bénétos et al. (2013) studied this question.
