Purpose: Angiotensin 11, which plays a crucial role in the myocardial remodeling process of heart failure, is generated via the angiotensin-converting enzyme and chymase pathways. We studied angiotensin-converting enzyme and chymase-1 polymorphisms in patients with systolic heart failure and the correlation with clinical status and left ventricular function. Methods: We genotyped 195 patients with heart failure and systolic left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction
