Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study investigated the association of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE I/D) and aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2-344C/T) gene polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) with atrial fibrillation (AF) in the Tunisian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study population included 120 patients with AF and 123 age-matched controls. Genotyping of the I/D polymorphism in the ACE...
