Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We sought to prospectively investigate whether genetic variation at the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene locus defined by an insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism influences the risk of myocardial infarction or prognosis after infarction, or both. BACKGROUND: It has been suggested...
