We investigated the effects of six RAAS gene polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion. Methods and Results: We examined 810 patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) using stress–rest myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography. Summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS), summed difference score (SDS), transient ischemic dilation (TID), and lung/heart ratio (LHR) were recorded. The following gene polymorphisms were investigated: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D), angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T and T174M, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C, renin (REN) C5312T, and angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) C3123A. The heterozygotes or homozygotes on ACE D allele were 7.54 times more likely to have abnormal SSS, while the AGT (T174M) heterozygotes were 5.19 times more likely to have abnormal SSS. The homozygotes of ACE D had significantly higher values on TID and LHR, while the AGT (T174M) heterozygotes had higher values on TID. The AT1R heterozygotes had greater odds for having SSS ≥ 3. The patients carried AT1R homozygosity of C allele had significantly higher values on TID, while heterozygotes of AT1R had significantly higher values on LHR. Conclusions: Among the polymorphisms investigated, ACE D allele had the strongest association with abnormal myocardial perfusion. © 2018, American Society of Nuclear Cardiology. ER -
