Results: The frequency of the CNV normal pattern (wild genotype) of ACE gene, among the
patient with ascending aortic aneurysm with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve and control …

OBJECTIVES Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D polymorphism has been implicated
in aortic aneurysm risk, but individual published studies show inconclusive results. The aim …

Methods: A total of 392 white patients (159 women, 233 men; age range: 32-82 years) with
AS was analyzed, with clinical data, echocardiographic parameters and ACE I/D …

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine whether the insertion (I) and deletion
(D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) confers susceptibility to …

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D polymorphism has been indicated to
be correlated with aortic aneurysm (AA) susceptibility, but study results are still debatable …

OBJECTIVE: There are substantial data providing evidence that the renin-angiotensin
system (RAS) is involved in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Limited data …

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene
polymorphism in patients with degenerative aortic valve calcification (AVC). PATIENTS AND …

Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a catastrophic cardiovascular disease and is thought to
have a genetic basis. Various studies have indicated that renin-angiotensin system plays an …
