Association between AT1 receptor gene polymorphism and left ventricular hypertrophy and arterial stiffness in essential hypertension patients: a prospective cohort study.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: AT1 receptor gene (AGTR1) is related to essential hypertension (EH), and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and arterial stiffness are common complications of EH. This study aimed to explore the association between AGTR1 genotype and LVH and arterial stiffness in EH patients. METHODS: A total of 179 EH patients were recruited in this study. Oral exfoliated cells were collected from each patient, and...
