Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a key enzyme in angiotensin II production which causes myocardial hypertrophy and hyperplasia. In this study we aimed to investigate the relation between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and left ventricular mass (LVM), dimensions and systolic functions calculated by mitral annular motion (MAM) in young healthy male subjects. METHODS: Complete echocardiographic...
