Coronary vasoconstriction after coronary angioplasty is attenuated by endothelin a receptor antagonism

Coronary vasoconstriction after coronary angioplasty is attenuated by endothelin a receptor antagonism
Previous ArticleA simple, readily available method for risk stratification of patients with unstable angina and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
Next ArticleIntravascular ultrasound study in heart transplant recipients at proximal and distal branch points
      Previous studies have demonstrated distal coronary vasoconstriction immediately after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). It was presumed that this coronary vasoconstriction is the result of intimal injury or endothelial dysfunction,

      ET-1 binds to at least 2 receptors: in blood vessels, endothelin A (ETA) receptors are present only on vascular smooth muscle cells and cause contraction, whereas endothelin B receptors are on endothelium, causing vasodilatation, and on vascular smooth muscle cells, causing contraction. In healthy men, the major receptor causing vasoconstriction, at least in the systemic circulation, is the ETA receptor.
