| AMI | No AMI | |||||||||||
| DD (n = 3) | ID (n = 12) | II (n = 8) | P* | ID + II (n = 20) | P* | DD (n = 14) | ID (n = 26) | II (n = 32) | P* | ID + II (n = 58) | P* | |
| Systolic BP | 144 ± 9 | 144 ± 3 | 130 ± 6 | 0.090 | 139 ± 3 | 0.54 | 154 ± 8 | 136 ± 4 | 146 ± 4 | 0.043 | 141 ± 3 | 0.055 |

*One-way ANOVA was used in the comparison of BP between the three genotype groups; t test was used in the comparison of BP of carriers of the DD genotype with carriers of the other genotypes combined. I, insertion; D, deletion
