Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aldosterone has direct and indirect effects on the heart, and genetic variations in aldosterone synthesis could therefore influence cardiac structure and function. Such variations might be associated with polymorphisms in the gene encoding aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2), the enzyme ca...
