[ACE gene polymorphism correlation (I/D) with the ventricular function in patients with ischemic and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy].

Unlabelled: Dilated cardiomyopathy is a myocardial disease, characterized by biventricular expansion. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is closely related with the progress of this pathology. Has been shown that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism influences as much in the plasmatic concentration as in activity of ACE.
