Asymmetric dimethylarginine levels in patients with coronary artery ectasia.
Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2009, Vol 67, Issue 12
Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction might be one of the pathophysiological mechanisms in the development of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) although the exact mechanisms have not yet been demonstrated. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, is also related to endothelial and structural dysfunction.
