Hypertension genetic risk score is associated with burden of coronary heart disease among patients referred for coronary angiography.

Hypertension genetic risk score is associated with burden of coronary heart disease among patients referred for coronary angiography.

BACKGROUND:Recent GWAS studies have identified more than 300 SNPs associated with variation in blood pressure. We investigated whether a genetic risk score constructed from these variants is associated with burden of coronary heart disease. METHODS:From 2010-2014, 4,809 individuals admitted to coron...
