Abstract excerpt
We studied the relation between renin-angiotensin system (RAS) related gene polymorphisms, such as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D), angiotensinogen (AGT) M253T and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C, and the effect of quinapril, an ACE inhibitor with high tissue-binding affinity, on preventing restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 253 patients...
