Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Prolongation of QT dispersion can be observed in some patients with myocardial infarction and serves as a possible independent risk factor for sudden cardiac death. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition has been shown to reduce QT dispersion in myocardial infarction patients. We hypothesized that ACE gene I/D polymorphism, which is known to modulate ACE activity, may also affect QT dispersion after...
