Abstract excerpt
1. The association of different patterns of left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) genotypes or angiotensinogen dinucleotide repeat alleles were studied in human subjects. 2. Three abnormal patterns of hypertrophy (remodelled, eccentric and concentric) were associated with a history of hypertension. The presence of remodelled or concentric hypertrophy was...
