Abstract excerpt
To determine whether insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (intron 16) of the angiotensin converting-enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH: systolic blood pressure (BP) > or = 160, diastolic BP < 90 mm Hg) or systolic-diastolic hypertension (S-D hypertension: diastolic BP > or = 90 +/- systolic BP > or = 160 mm Hg) compared with normotensive controls (systolic BP < 160,...
