Description
Summary:Clinical, instrumental and psychosomatic associations of ACE gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism were studied in inpatients with coronary heart disease (CHD): unstable angina (UA) - 32, myocardial infarction (MI) - 80. The control group included 66 healthy volunteers (CG). ACE gene D allele was more prevalent than I allele (p < 0.02) in CHD and MI patients. These groups also had significant difference in DD genotype prevalence, comparing to CG (p < 0.05). According to echocardiography results, severe left ventricular hypertrophy (IVH) was associated with DD genotype. According to psychometry data, patients with DD genotype had increased levels of total hostility and Type A behavior manifestation than patients with ID or II genotype (p < 0.05). Prolonged hospitalization time in MI patients with DD genotype was significantly associated with severity of Type A behavior and various hostility components (p < 0.05).
