Association of arterial stiffness with the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism in healthy individuals.
BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness is an important determinant of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The I/D polymorphism of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between ACE polymorphism, arterial stiffness, and wave reflecti...
