Popis: BACKGROUND Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) plays a central role in the biotransformation of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) or nitroglycerin, which is widely used for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The deficient variant ALDH2 genotype (ALDH2*2) is prevalent among East Asians. This study examined whether there are differences in nitroglycerine-mediated dilation (NMD) and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) response between wildALDH2*1/*1and variantALDH2*2patients with CAD.Methods and Results:The study subjects comprised 55 coronary spastic angina (CSA) patients, confirmed by coronary angiography and intracoronary injection of acetylcholine (42 men and 13 women, mean age 68.0±9.0 years). They underwent NMD and FMD tests in the morning before and after continuous transdermal GTN administration for 48 h. NMD was lower at baseline inALDH2*2than in theALDH2*1/*1group (P=0.0499) and decreased significantly in both groups (P
