[The aims of the study were (i) to assess the distribution of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1) gene 1166A/C polymorphism and two polymorphisms of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene (Met235Thr and Thr174Met) in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent coronary angiography, compared with healthy volunteers; (ii) to determine if there was any correlation between these polymorphisms and risk of STEMI; and (iii) to assess the association of the examined polymorphisms with such classic cardiovascular risk factors as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity (based on a body mass index ≥25 kg/m2), smoking, dyslipidemia, and family history of cardiovascular disease.].
