Popis: 29th Turkish Cardiology Congress of the Turkish-Society-of-Cardiology (TSC) with International Participation -- OCT 26-29, 2013 -- Antalya, TURKEY ADALI, MEHMET KORAY/0000-0002-0054-6252 WOS: 000329858400347 Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly observed arrhythmia in clinical practice and associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The renin-angiotensin system may play a role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation. Increased angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) expression in the atrial tissue of patients with AF has suggested the involvement of the RAS in AF. Some initial studies indicated an association between an angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism and AF, however, the results have been inconsistent. We aimed to investigate relationship between AF and polymorphism of ACE I/D in Turkish patients. Turkish Soc Cardiol
