Applications of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in cardiac transplantation. Preliminary results in five patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Nitric oxide signaling plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and platelet activation. Here, we seek to understand the impact of a genetic predisposition to enhanced nitric oxide signaling on risk for cardiovascular diseases, thus informing the potential utility of pharmacological stimulation of...
