Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that a genetic polymorphism in the angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene (ATRG) and the ACE gene DD genotype might have a synergistic influence on the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. AIMS: To study the possible interaction between polymorphisms in the ACE gene and the ATRG, regarding survival and left ventricular function. METHODS: Polymorphism of the two genes was...
