Abstract excerpt
AIM: To assess possible associations of polymorphic markers of PPARA and PPARG2 genes with presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with hypertension. MATERIAL: Patients with hypertension (n=163, mean age 60.93+/-0.82 years) with (n=110) and without (n=53) LVH. METHODS: Echocardiography was used for evaluation of left ventricular mass and mass index and polymerase chain reaction - for...
