The Gene Polymorphism of LOX1 Predicts the Incidence of LVH in Patients with Essential Hypertension

Background: Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) has been shown to play an important role in cardiac remodeling under different pathologic conditions. The role of genetic polymorphisms in the LOX1 gene, however, remains unclear in the development of left ventricular hypert...
