Polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene and endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene have been suggested to be associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. The aim of our study was to asses the association between above polymorphisms and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with cardiac syndrome X. The presence of allele 4 of eNOS VNTR polymorphism could predispose to cardiac hypertrophy. The pathological course of postprandial lipemia in patients with CSX may add to the understanding of the CSX pathology.
