Angiotensin-converting enzyme polymorphism (I/D) and coronary heart disease in young adults

No relationship existed between ACE group polymorphism and clinical evolution, but patients with two- and three-vessel disease were mostly DD (p < 0.01). [...]in this sample, we have not found a relationship between ACE polymorphism and MI prognosis, but there seems to be a relationship between D...

Description
Summary:No relationship existed between ACE group polymorphism and clinical evolution, but patients with two- and three-vessel disease were mostly DD (p < 0.01). [...]in this sample, we have not found a relationship between ACE polymorphism and MI prognosis, but there seems to be a relationship between DD and severity of coronary heart disease.
