Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There has not been a longitudinal investigation of the influence of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion and angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T gene polymorphisms on repolarization parameters, such as QT dispersion (QTd) and the peak and the end of the T-wave interval (Tpe). METHODS AND RESULTS: Electrocardiographys were recorded from 106 elderly Chinese at baseline, and 2nd and 4th year...
