Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). A p22(phox)-based NAD(P)H oxidase acts as a potent superoxide-generating system in the vasculature. We studied the association of the A640G and the C242T polymorphisms with clinical risk factors, endothelial function, and severity of CAD in a cohort of 216 patients referred for coronary angiography. The frequency of...
