Relationship between −344T/C polymorphism in the aldosterone synthase gene and atrial fibrillation in patients with essential hypertension
Introduction : Aldosterone plays an important role in the pathogenesis of non-familial atrial fibrillation (AF). We tested the hypothesis that the −344T/C polymorphism in the aldosterone synthase gene may be associated with non-familial AF in Chinese patients with hypertension. Materials and methods...
