Abstract excerpt
This study sought to assess the potential influence of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor gene polymorphisms on restenosis after coronary balloon angioplasty. The authors conclude that screening for genetic suspectibility to restenosis based on genotyping of ACE and AT1 receptor polymorphisms before conventional balloon angioplasty is not clinically useful.
