Polymorphisms of AGT Met235Thr and AGT Thr174Met genes are able to mark increased or reduced odds ratio of circumflex artery as culprit artery in STEMI.
A total of 100 patients (mean age 57 ± 10 years [range 31-76 years]; 21% women) with diagnosed STEMI and a control group consisting of 95 healthy volunteers (mean age 38 ± 11 years [range 17-60 years]; 20% women) were investigated for the AGTR1 1166A/C polymorphism and two variants of AGT (Met235Thr and Thr174Met).
