BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A common single nucleotide polymorphism in the E-selectin (SELE) gene S149R results in the loss of E-selectin ligand binding specificity. The 149R allele has been associated with severe cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that S149R may regulate platelet activation after stimuli associated with perioperative procedures in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting...
