Abstract excerpt
The insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism of the human angiotensin-converting enzyme gene has emerged as a genetic risk factor for ischemic heart disease. However, the functional consequences of this polymorphism in humans are not known. Ten normotensive men with the DD genotype and 10 with the II genotype participated in a study in which pressor responses to stepwise infusions of incremental doses of...
