The significance of circulating endothelin-1 as a predictor of coronary artery disease status and clinical outcomes following coronary artery catheterization

Abstract: Background/Objectives Coronary artery disease (CAD) is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. Inflammatory, pro-thrombotic and structural factors contribute to the etiology of CAD. This study sought to determine the relationship of plasma endothelin-1 (pET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, mitogen and modulator of cardiac inflammation, to clinical characteristics and outcomes of CAD patients. Methods Blood samples were collected from 336 patients with underlying chest pain or recent myocardial infa… Show more

“…An appropriate amount of NO could protect cardiomyocytes, reduce damage, inhibit intimal hyperplasia and ameliorate the heart function following IR injury. As an important regulator of cardiovascular function, ET plays a significant role in maintaining vascular tension and cardiovascular system steady state (25). Endothelial cells stimulate the synthesis and release of ET-1.…”

“…In addition, Our study showed a statistically significant increase in the ET-1 values among patients compared to control subjects, which reflects its role not only in prolonged vasoconstriction but also its atherogenic impact, its pro-oxidant effect and its pro-aggregating role [ 4 , 15 ].…”

“…Mayyas et al 28 found that ET-1 was significantly higher in patients with STEMI than in those with NSTEMI one week after an acute event. Reperfusion therapy in AMI increases oxidative stress which leads to decrease of NO and its protective effects during ischemia 29 .…”
