Abstract excerpt
The development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in subjects with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is variable, suggesting a role for modifying factors such as angiotensin II. We investigated whether the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) A/C1166 polymorphism, the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism, and/or plasma renin influence LVH in HCM. Left ventricular mass...
