[The effect of polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensinogen genes on the phenotypic expression of Spanish patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a great variability in its morphofunctional expression. This study analyzes whether angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensinogen (AGT) gene polymorphisms modulate the phenotypic expression in Spanish patients with HCM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty Spanish HCM patients were studied. Twenty-six out of these 40 patients belonged to 7 families with familial...
