Abstract excerpt
This study examined renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAAS) system gene variants for associations with cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes in coronary heart disease. Coronary disease patients (n=1186) were genotyped for 21 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin-II type-1 receptor (AGTR1) and aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2)....
