Abstract excerpt
Cardiac complications are the main cause of death in renal transplant patients and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) may play a determinant role. An association between the insertion-deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and LVH has been reported in adults. However, little is known about the genetic influence on left ventricular mass changes after renal transplantation, where...
