Arterial neovascularization and inflammation in vulnerable patients: early and late signs of symptomatic atherosclerosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Coronary spastic angina (CSA) is a common disease among East Asians, including Japanese. The prevalence of alcohol flushing syndrome associated with deficient activity of the variant aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2*2) genotype is prevalent among East Asians. We examined whether CSA is associated with the ALD...
