Effects of apolipoprotein A gene polymorphisms on lipoprotein (a) concentrations in Japanese.

abstract：:Subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR) is a reliable index of myocardial supply-workload balance. This study sought to investigate whether overweight/obese children and adolescents have altered SEVR and to identify which are the associated factors.
