Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To elucidate the role of some haemostatic gene polymorphisms and environmental factors, we studied fibrinogen (Fb), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) levels with respect to Fb G455A and PAI-1 4G/5G gene polymorphisms in smokers and nonsmokers with essential hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was done in 90 patients (including 30 smokers) with...
