Abstract excerpt
The insertion-deletion (ID) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is a marker linked to differences in plasma and cardiac ACE activity as well as to an increased mortality in patients with idiopathic heart failure. We examined the possibility that ACE gene ID variants are associated with differences in left ventricular (LV) systolic performance or internal LV dimensions in a high-risk...
