ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel mutations have been identified in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy and overt heart failure. Here, a common E23K functional polymorphism in the Kir6.2 channel pore versus cardiac phenotype was studied in a cross-sectional community-based cohort (n = 2,031). The KK genotype was associated with greater left ventricular size among subjects with increased stress load due to hypertension. These findings implicate Kir6.2 K23 as a risk factor for adverse subclinical myocardial remodeling, and underscore the significance of cardiac K(ATP) channels within the population.
在患有扩张型心肌病和明显心力衰竭的个体中已发现ATP敏感性钾离子(K(ATP))通道突变。在此,在一个基于社区的横断面队列(n = 2031)中研究了Kir6.2通道孔中常见的E23K功能多态性与心脏表型的关系。在因高血压导致应激负荷增加的受试者中,KK基因型与更大的左心室大小相关。这些发现表明Kir6.2 K23是亚临床心肌不良重塑的一个危险因素,并强调了心脏K(ATP)通道在人群中的重要性。
