Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We determined the influence of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism on the extent of myocardial ischemia in patients with acute myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND: The I/D polymorphism, which in part controls plasma and tissue expression of ACE,...
