ACE (I/D) polymorphism and response to treatment in coronary artery disease: a comprehensive database and meta-analysis involving study quality evaluation
Kitsios, G.; Zintzaras, E. (2009)Background: The role of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in modifying the response to treatment modalities in coronary artery disease is controversial. Methods: PubMed was ... -
Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphic variant as a marker of coronary artery disease - A meta-analysis
Zintzaras, E.; Raman, G.; Kitsios, G.; Lau, J. (2008)Background: Many studies have investigated the association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion(I)/deletion (D) polymorphic variant and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the evidence is ... -
Endothelial NO synthase gene polymorphisms and hypertension - A meta-analysis
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2006)Studies investigated the association between endothelial NO synthase gene polymorphisms and hypertension-reported contradicted or nonconclusive results. A meta-analysis of 35 genetic association studies that examined the ... -
Genetic variation associated with ischemic heart failure: A HuGE review and meta-analysis
Kitsios, G.; Zintzaras, E. (2007)The ischemic etiology of heart failure is an independent prognostic factor associated with worse long-term outcome. Recent evidence indicates a role for genetic susceptibility to ischemic heart failure. The authors ... -
Genome-wide scans meta-analysis for pulse pressure
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G.; Kent, D.; Camp, N. J.; Atwood, L.; Hopkins, P. N.; Hunt, S. C. (2007)Genome scans for identifying susceptibility loci for pulse pressure have produced inconclusive results. A heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis was applied to available genome-scan data on pulse pressure. A genome ... -
Heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis for preeclampsia
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G.; Harrison, G. A.; Laivuori, H.; Kivinen, K.; Kere, J.; Messinis, I.; Stefanidis, I.; Ioannidis, J. P. A. (2006)Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related disorder that causes maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Its exact inheritance pattern is still unknown, and genome searches for identifying susceptibility loci for preeclampsia ... -
Identification of chromosomal regions linked to premature myocardial infarction: a meta-analysis of whole-genome searches
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G. (2006)Myocardial infarction (MI) is a complication of coronary artery disease and the leading cause of death in the Western world. MI is considered a distinct phenotype with an increased genetic component for its premature type. ... -
Left atrial remodelling contributes to the progression of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction to chronic symptomatic heart failure
Karayannis, G.; Kitsios, G.; Kotidis, H.; Triposkiadis, F. (2008)Systolic heart failure (HF) is a progressive disorder that often begins with asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and culminates in symptoms from fluid overload and poor end-organ perfusion. The progression ... -
Response to endothelial nitric oxide synthase polymorphisms and susceptibility to hypertension: Genotype versus haplotype analysis
Zintzaras, E.; Kitsios, G.; Stefanidis, I. (2007)
