Notes: Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. II genotype: two alleles with 287 bp insertion in ACE gene; DD genotype: two alleles with 287 bp deletion in ACE gene; ID genotype: one allele with 287 bp insertion and one allele with 287 bp deletion in ACE gene.
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; DP, double product; HR, heart rate; MBP, mean blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
