Abstract excerpt
An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the gene coding for the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is strongly associated with ACE activity. This polymorphism may be a marker for an increased risk for cardiovascular events. Our study examined a possible relationship between the D/I polymorphism and myocardial release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Ninety-six individuals...
