Research Article: AT1R gene rs389566 polymorphism contributes to MACCEs in hypertension patients
Abstract:
To investigate the possible association between AT1R gene polymorphisms and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in hypertension patients combined with or without coronary artery disease (CAD) in Xinjiang.
Introduction:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertensive are common diseases that endanger human health. As blood pressure regulatory system in the body, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an important risk factors for CAD [1]. The angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1R) is involved in the classical physiological actions of Ang II, and plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in human [2].
