Özet

Background: Carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been used as a marker of atherosclerosis. An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated,vith various cardiovascular diseases. This study is aimed at evaluating early atherosclerotic involvement of carotid vessels and the relation to known risk factors and ACE gene I/D in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
