Recently, we discovered a T(-786)-->C mutation in the 5'-flanking region of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene that is associated with coronary spasm. The precise mechanism(s) of myocardial infarction (MI), especially without coronary organic stenosis, has not been elucidated, but it seems possible that coronary spasm plays a key role in the mechanism. In this study, we examined the frequency with which...
