BACKGROUND: The incidence of variant angina in oriental patients is higher than in patients from the Western world. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) seems to be associated with coronary vasospasm in variant angina, suggesting that ET-1 gene variants may be important in coronary vasospasm in variant angina. We wanted to assess potential association between Korean variant angina and three polymorphisms of the ET-1 gene, which...
