Angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism influences degree of left ventricular hypertrophy and its regression in patients undergoing operation for aortic stenosis.

Abstract excerpt

Insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been associated with increased left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Patients with aortic stenosis (AS) have varying degrees of LVH at a given valve area. The aim of this study was to examine the relation between ACE gene polymorphism and the degree of LVH in...
