Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to determine the association between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism and left ventricular (LV) geometry, and to clarify independent effects of ACE genotype on mortality after commencing dialysis in diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). A total of 106 diabetic patients, 71 men and 35 women, 11 type 1 and 95 type 2 diabetic, 57 +/- 12 (mean...
