Abstract excerpt
The renin-angiotensin system may play a pivotal role in reperfusion ventricular arrhythmias (RVA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism and RVA in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a case-control study. Patients who had undergone successful coronary intervention for AMI were enrolled (n= 127, male/female: 97/30,...
