Objective: To investigate the relationship between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene and exercise-induced silent myocardial ischemia (SI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: One hundred and eight patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus with normal rest electrocardiograph and 50 healthy individuals were selected randomly. SI was diagnosed with treadmill exercise test and ACE genotypes were detected with PCR.

Article Synopsis
- * Findings indicated that arterial dilation decreased significantly from hyperthyroid to euthyroid stages and further into a transient hypothyroid state after surgery.
- * The results suggest that untreated hyperthyroid patients have more responsive endothelial function compared to when they become euthyroid, highlighting the impact of thyroid status on vascular health.

The presence of the apolipoprotein (Apo) e4 allele is reported to be associated with the increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), as well as the impairment of endothelium-dependent dilation in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, we hypothesized that the Apo e4 allele increases the death risk from coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes. From January 1993 to December 1999, 36 type 2 diabetic patients with e4/4 or e4/3, 62 with e3/3 and 33 with e2/2 or e3/2 genotypes were recruited.
