The radial artery is increasingly used for coronary artery bypass grafts, but its potential for spasm increases postoperative risk. Alpha-calcitonin gene-related peptide is a potent antihypertensive peptide. Thus, we set out to determine whether calcitonin gene-related peptide can impair angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction in human radial arteries and, if so, to determine its mechanism of action.
