Renin–angiotensin system genetic polymorphisms: Lack of association with CRP levels in patients with coronary artery disease

Angiotensin (Ang) II is believed to be a potential pro-inflammatory factor. The capability of Ang II to stimulate C-reactive protein (CRP) production has recently been described. Genetic polymorphisms of renin angiotensin system (RAS) components have been described to be associated with the developm...
