Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the impact of TOMM40 genotype (Xg vs. AA carriers) on mortality and cardiovascular issues in patients with advanced atherosclerosis, particularly looking at cardiovascular events and device implantations like pacemakers and defibrillators.
- - After enrolling 276 patients with serious carotid stenosis or limb ischemia, researchers did not find significant differences in overall mortality between the two genotypes, but Xg carriers had higher rates of fatal cardiovascular events.
- - Notably, Xg carriers also showed an increased incidence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) compared to AA carriers, while right bundle branch block (RBBB) showed a trend towards higher rates in Xg but without statistical significance
