Impaired nitric oxide-mediated flow-induced coronary dilation in hyperhomocysteinemia: morphological and functional evidence for increased peroxynitrite formation.
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a newly recognized risk factor for myocardial infarction, however, the effect of HHcy on endothelium-dependent flow-induced dilation of coronary arteries is not known. Thus, changes in diameter of small intramural coronary arteries (diameter, approximately 145 microm)...
