Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme that facilitates the biologic metabolism of nitroglycerin. However, no study investigated the association between ALDH2 gene polymorphism and the vasodilation of coronary arteries after intracoronary administration of nitroglycerin. In this study, we enrolled 427 patients with suspected angina pectoris. ALDH2 genotyping was performed and all patients were...
