Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The renin-angiotensin system is thought to play a role in coronary thrombosis and restenosis. Plasma angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is associated with an insertion/deletion polymorphism in the gene coding for ACE. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that the D allele of the ACE gene is associated with a higher risk for restenosis after coronary stent placement....
