Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) can lead to myocardial infarction (MI), which increases the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and ventricular arrhythmias (VA).
- The study aimed to link specific genetic variations (SNPs) in genes related to heart arrhythmias with the likelihood of developing VA during an MI.
- Results indicated that two SNPs, specifically in the SCN5A and SCN10A genes, were significantly connected to a higher risk of VA in MI patients, which could potentially help in predicting and preventing SCD.
