Abstract excerpt
AIM: To elucidate possible association of angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphic markers I/D and G7831A with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with essential hypertension. MATERIAL: Patients with essential hypertension (n=123, 37 with and 86 without LVH, mean age 59.15+/-1.19 years).
