Background: Although the renin angiotensin system (RAS) can affect the development of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, few data exist regarding the relationships between RAS polymorphisms and alteration of LV function. The effect of RAS polymorphisms on LV function in genotyped hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was examined in the present study.Methods and Results: The study group comprised 126 carriers with sarcomere gene mutations from 49 HCM families (64 males, mean age 51 +/- 21 years) LV morphology and function were evaluated by echocardiography. In angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D), the D allele (n=81) exhibited significantly larger LV end-systolic dimension (LVDs) (32 +/- 11 mm) and lower ejection fraction (56 +/- 15%) than those with the II genotype (28 +/- 7 mm and 62 +/- 12%, respectively P
