Previous studies have suggested that endothelin (ET)-1 with its marked vasoconstrictive potency may play a role in the induction of coronary artery spasms. Furthermore, it was demonstrated using in-vitro vessel preparations that the secretion of ET-1 by the vascular endothelium is enhanced in the presence of atherosclerotic alterations. The objective of the present study was to investigate a) the effects of ergometric exercise on ET-1 plasma concentrations in 10 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) as compared to an age and sex matched control group and b) the modulatory role of the orally administered organic nitrate, pentaerithrityltetranitrat (PETN), in patients with CAD.
