Lack of Association between Endothelin-1 Gene Variants and Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: Aim: Endothelin-1 (ET-1) promotes vasoconstriction and cell proliferation, and has been implicated in hypertension and coronary artery disease. Our aim was to analyse the role of the ET-1 gene (EDN1) in the risk for atherosclerosis/myocardial infarction (MI) in a population with smoking as the prevalent risk factor. Methods: The study included 316 patients with early onset MI ( 55 yeras old). All were male with at least one diseased coronary vessel. Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), si… Show more

“…but inconsistent with another study that reported association between the T‐allele and CAD development . It appears that the relationship between this polymorphism and AMI is more significant among hypertensive and hypercholesterolemic patients . In our study cholesterol levels in AMI patients were not significantly different from the controls.…”

“…demonstrated a lack of association between ET-1 gene variant and myocardial infarction. [13] High ET-1 level in both the patients who had or not an episode of myocardial infarction in our patients suggests that some other endothelium modulating factor is contributing to this fact. A similar finding was also observed among the patients who were either suffering or not from hypertension.…”
