OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether the Glu298Asp polymorphism in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene is a definite risk factor for coronary spasm and whether diffuse spasm involving normal-looking coronary artery correlates significantly with the Glu298Asp polymorphism, in contrast with focal spasm superimposed...
