Abstract
Aim: This work was designed to investigate the associations between vitamin D metabolites, VDR gene polymorphisms and echocardiographic markers in a population of patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: Echocardiographic markers for 42 patients were determined with tissue Doppler techniques. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis identified genetic variants ApaI, TaqI, BsmI and FokI. A validated UHPLC-MS/MS method determined vitamin D metabolites. Results: Patients with the ApaI-GT genotype exhibited a lower pressure gradient across the aortic valve than ApaI-TT carriers. BMI, ApaI-GT, TaqI-TC, aortic arch diameter and maximal pressure gradient were significant univariate predictors of hypertension. Conclusion: A potential link exists between VDR gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular function.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
