No association seen between ACE I/D genotypes and LVH indices; hypothesis-generating for ethnic-specific genetic effects on cardiac remodeling.
Does ACE gene polymorphism correlate with left ventricular hypertrophy in Chinese patients with essential hypertension?
Insertion/deletion polymorphism of the ACE gene is not associated with echocardiographic measures of left ventricular hypertrophy in Chinese patients with essential hypertension.
Wu et al. (2000) studied this question.
