Nitric Oxide (NO) plays a relevant role in regulating platelet recruitment and eNOS is the major isoform known to be expressed in platelets. Polymorphisms in the eNOS gene with a reduced NO availability might affect platelet phenotype. The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of eNOS-786T > C, 894G > T and 4a/4b polymorphisms in modulating platelet phenotype in 1442 acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients on...
