SNPs identified as modulators of ECG traits in the general population do not markedly affect ECG traits during acute myocardial infarction nor ventricular fibrillation risk in this condition.

SNPs identified as modulators of ECG traits in the general population do not markedly affect ECG traits during acute myocardial infarction nor ventricular fibrillation risk in this condition.

<h4>Background</h4>Ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the setting of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a leading cause of mortality. Although the risk of VF has a genetic component, the underlying genetic factors are largely unknown. Since heart rate and ECG intervals of...
