Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between polymorphism in the ACE I/D gene and blood pressure-lowering response to hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in 829 patients. METHODS: HCTZ 12.5 mg was taken once a day for six weeks. The blood pressure reduction and ratio reaching target blood pressure were compared in different ACE genotype groups. RESULTS: The reduction in SBP of patients carrying DD was greater than that...
