Description We evaluated the associations among angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism, ACE activity and post-myocardial infarction left ventricular dysfunction and acute heart failure early after presentation with MI with ST-segment elevation. A total of 556 patients with STEMI treated by primary PCI were the study population. The DD/ID genotypes were associated with a significantly higher risk of EF. These results suggest that the I/D polymorphism of ACE is associated with the development of LV dysfunction in the acute phase after STEMI. We demonstrated for the first time an association of the low ACE activity with the severe LV dysfunction, although patients with moderate LV dysfunction had higher level ACE activity than patients with preserved LV function.
