Abstract excerpt
AIM: The angiotensin I-converting enzyme insertion/ deletion polymorphism (ACE-I/D), including three genotypes (II, ID, DD), with a known impact on midterm mortality and morbidity in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), was studied. Since this polymorphism has been linked with increased vascular response to phenylephrine during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), we investigated its possible...
