Secondly, we will also determine the genotype of the AMPD1 gene. We expect to find 15 subjects with the 34C>T mutation, which is a loss-of-function-mutation. Cardiovascular patients with this mutation are known to have a survival benefit. We will explore whether the post-occlusive reactive hyperemia in the forearm is potentiated, because during ischaemia, more adenosine is formed in these subjects.
