Why the study?
Is the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene 2350 G/A polymorphism associated with atrial fibrillation in Han Chinese patients with essential hypertension?
Is the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene 2350 G/A polymorphism associated with atrial fibrillation in Han Chinese patients with essential hypertension?
The ACE 2350 G/A polymorphism, specifically the A allele, is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and larger left atrial dimensions in Han Chinese patients with essential hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice; leaves open whether ACE 2350 G/A genotyping aids AF risk stratification in hypertensive Han Chinese.
Jiang et al. (2013) studied this question.
