Angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism and reversibility of uremic left ventricular hypertrophy following long-term antihypertensive therapy  Giuseppe Cannella, Ernesto Paoletti, Sergio Barocci, Fabio Massarino, Roberto Delfino, Giambattista Ravera, Giovanni Di Maio, Arcangelo Nocera, Pietro Patrone, Davide Rolla  Kidney International  Volume 54, Issue 2, Pages (August 1998) DOI: /j x Copyright © 1998 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Changes of left ventricular mass indices plotted against corresponding changes in systolic blood pressures occurring after five years on continuous antihypertensive therapy in 30 chronically hemodialyzed uremics (r = 0.37; P = 0.044).

3 Figure 2 Values (mean ± sem) of 24-hour monitored systolic (S) and diastolic (D) blood presures (BP) and left ventricular mass indices (LVMi) for groups of hypertensive hemodialyzed uremics bearing the DD (•; N = 13) or II/ID (○; N = 17) ACE-gene genotype while on continuous antihypertensive therapy that included ACE inhibitors. Asterisks indicate the time at which a significant difference was detectable with respect to the basal value.

4 Figure 3 Percent changes for the left ventricular mass indices after five years on a continuous antihypertensive therapy, which included ACE inhibitors, for 30 hemodialyzed uremics bearing different ACE-gene genotype (• DD; ID; ○ II). The “F” value for possible differences among groups, by ANOVA, is indicated. Kidney International  , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 1998 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
