Table 3 Association between digoxin use and sys<strong>to</strong>lic or dias<strong>to</strong>lic properties on echocardiography<br />

Variable<br />

No prevalent heart failure<br />

were normally distributed.<br />

prevalent heart disease (Table 4). Results were less equivocal for mitral valve inflow deceleration time,<br />

but digoxin users homozygous for the TTT haplotype seemed <strong>to</strong> have increased deceleration time, also<br />

driving <strong>to</strong>wards impaired relaxation. For the individual SNPs we found similar <strong>effects</strong> (results not shown).<br />

In table 6, the results for an allelic model are displayed stratified on digoxin use and prevalent heart disease.<br />

NOS1AP and digoxin. The NOS1AP cohort was larger, with extra participants from the second inception<br />

cohort. Since this cohort was younger at the time of echocardiography, the extension resulted in only few<br />

extra digoxin users. Also, the NOS1AP variants were less frequent, resulting in little or no extra power<br />

compared <strong>to</strong> the ABCB1 study population. Therefore, still no robust effect estimates could be obtained.<br />

Similar <strong>to</strong> our observations for the ABCB1 TTT-haplotype, in the stratum of participants without prevalent<br />

heart disease, digoxin users carrying the rs10494366 minor allele haplotype showed improved ejection<br />

fraction and fractional shortening compared <strong>to</strong> those not carrying this haplotype. Again, the effect of the<br />

minor allele seemed opposite in the prevalent heart disease stratum (Table 5). In dias<strong>to</strong>le, digoxin users<br />

carrying the minor allele seemed <strong>to</strong> have an increased E/A ratio. Deceleration time seemed increased in<br />

digoxin using minor allele carriers in the prevalent heart disease stratum, but the results might be opposite<br />

for the non-heart disease stratum. Similar results were observed for rs10918594 minor allele carriers.<br />

We observed no effect of NOS1AP genotype on sys<strong>to</strong>lic or dias<strong>to</strong>lic function in non-users of digoxin.<br />

In table 6, the results for an allelic model are displayed (where applicable) stratified on digoxin use and<br />

prevalent heart disease, but none of the results showed a significant association.<br />
