The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of specific FSHR Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Greek population and associate the latter with the clinical phenotype.Patients and Methods: We enrolled 96 subjects: men with idiopathic non-...

Introduction: Aldosterone (Aldo) decreases the rate of repolarization in rabbit cardiomyocytes and significantly increases the duration of the monophasic action potential in patients with supraventricular arrhythmias, few minutes after its intravenous administration, implying for a non-genomic action. We have previously found a positive linear regression between left ventricular systole duration and plasma Aldo levels in NZW rabbits. To investigate the veracity of the above fi...
