Abstract: These data indicate that there is a greater pressure-dependent increase in aortic stiffness in blacks than in whites. This finding points towards major differences in mechanical properties of large arteries between these racial groups.

“…In addition to the genetic variation, a significant difference in vascular health between black and white elderly people in this study was also found to be consistent with most of the previous studies. 32,33 The association between ACE_I/D and cardiovascular diseases is controversial. Some previous studies reported that the D allele of ACE increased the risk of cardiovascular diseases, 34,35 but others reported that the ACE I allele was associated with an increased risk of stroke 36 and deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.…”
