Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the M235-->T polymorphism (exon 2) of the angiotensinogen gene is associated with hypertension in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension [ISH: systolic blood pressure (SBP) > or = 160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 90 mmHg) or systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH: DBP > or = 90 mmHg, SBP > or = 160 mmHg) compared with normotensive controls (SBP < 160 mmHg, DBP...
