Abstract excerpt
Left ventricular (LV) systolic function is partly determined by severity of coronary artery disease and is improved by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, at least in post-infarct patients. Because the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism is associated with circulating and tissue ACE activity, we sought to evaluate the role of this genetic variant on LV function in patients studied with...
