Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was the exploration of the associations between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and post-myocardial infarction (MI) outcomes, especially any interaction with the accepted clinical prognostic markers brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). BACKGROUND: The ACE gene I/D polymorphism has been...
