Abstract excerpt
Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is a rate-limiting enzyme for degrading heme into carbon monoxide. Longer (GT)n repeat of the HO-1 gene (HMOX1) promoter has a lower transcription rate. Subjects with longer GT repeats in the HMOX1 promoter are more likely to have coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular events. We retrospectively enrolled CAD subjects with an abnormal ejection fraction (EF) < 50% from our...
