摘要: Acute coronary syndromes are accompanied by exaggerated vasoconstriction. Since thrombin induces production of the potent vasoconstrictor endothelin-1, we used immunohistochemistry on atherosclerotic specimens from 30 consecutive patients. Endothelin-1-like immunoreactivity was present in 5 9 (55%) lesions patients with stable angina, 6 7 (86%) crescendo and all 14 angina at rest. Endothelin-1 most common areas a positive Prussian-blue reaction indicative previous intraplaque haemorrhage. Tissue endothelin-1-like might contribute to
