Abstract excerpt
This meta-analysis attempted to derive pooled estimates for the putative association between echocardiographic or electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy and the deletion/insertion (D/I) polymorphism of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme. Case-control studies were combined, using the Mantel and Haenszel approach. Joint P-values for continuous variables were calculated by Stouffer's method. Continuous...
