Abstract excerpt
This study assessed the contribution of polymorphisms of angiotensin II (AngII) receptors and bradykinin B2 (BK-B2) receptor to hypertension and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a Japanese population: 150 subjects with essential hypertension, 150 subjects with AMI with/without hypertension, and 150 healthy, age- and sex-matched controls. Polymorphisms of the AngII type 1 receptor (1166 A/C) and type 2...
