Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic factors may be important in modifying heart size due to long-term athletic training. The significance of polymorphisms of genes of the renin-angiotensin system in myocardial mass in a population of athletes participating in different disciplines is not known. METHODS: The angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism, angiotensinogen gene M235T polymorphism and...
