Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to establish the role of ACE gene polymorphisms in the risk of developing in-stent restenosis and/or coronary artery disease (CAD). Eight ACE gene polymorphisms were genotyped by 5' exonuclease TaqMan genotyping assays in 236 patients with CAD who underwent coronary artery stenting. Basal and procedure coronary angiographies were analyzed searching for angiographic predictors of...
