Candesartan cilexetil protects from cardiac myosin induced cardiotoxicity via reduction of endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in rats: involvement of ACE2-Ang (1-7)-mas axis.
We examined frequencies of the M235T variant of angiotensinogen gene and I/D polymorphism of gene for angiotensin-converting enzyme in Slovak population: in hypertensive patients, coronary heart disease (CHD), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and myocardial infarction (MI) patients compared to healthy subjects.
Lack of association of polymorphisms of the angiotensin converting enzyme and angiotensinogen genes with nonfamilial hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy.
