Recently a point mutation of guanine to thymine at nucleotide position 1917 in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene has been reported to be associated with coronary artery spasm. In addition, a significant association of the 4a/b polymorphism in intron 4 of the eNOS gene with coronary artery disease has been reported. However, the implications of these polymorphisms with respect to acute myocardial...
