Key result
ACE I/D and AG M235-->T gene polymorphisms are not important determinants of left ventricular structure and function in young normotensive men (LV mass index 86 in DD/ID vs 79 in II, p=0.05).
Why the study?
Do ACE D/I and AG M235-->T gene polymorphisms influence left ventricular morphology and function in young normotensive men?
Cross-Sectional (n=110)
Do ACE D/I and AG M235-->T gene polymorphisms influence left ventricular morphology and function in young normotensive men?
Absolute Event Rate: 86% vs 79%
p-value: p=0.05
In young normotensive men, ACE I/D and AG M235-->T gene polymorphisms do not significantly influence left ventricular structure and function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No association in young normotensive men; leaves open roles in hypertension, older adults, or longitudinal remodeling.
Linhart et al. (2000) conducted a cross-sectional in Normotensive healthy males (n=110). ACE D/I and AG M235-->T gene polymorphisms vs. Different genotypes was evaluated on Left ventricular morphology and function (p=0.05). ACE I/D and AG M235-->T gene polymorphisms are not important determinants of left ventricular structure and function in young normotensive men (LV mass index 86 in DD/ID vs 79 in II, p=0.05).
