Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We sought to investigate the role of polymorphisms of the gene for angiotensin-converting enzyme in the development and progression of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular renin-angiotensin systems may be involved in cardiac remodeling and fibrosis. The absenc...
