Abstract excerpt
Left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension is a main clinical prognostic entity The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between mutations at genes of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the development of left ventricular hypertrophy. Genetic polymorphism in angiotensinogen (AGT) and angiotensin Il-type 1 receptor (AT1R) genes was examined in a group of well-selected essential...
