Journal ArticleDOI
Paradoxical Vasoconstriction Induced by Acetylcholine in Atherosclerotic Coronary Arteries
P L Ludmer,Andrew P. Selwyn,Thomas Shook,R R Wayne,Gilbert H. Mudge,Robert Alexander,Peter Ganz +6 more
TL;DR: The preliminary findings suggest that the abnormal vascular response to acetylcholine may represent a defect in endothelial vasodilator function, and may be important in the pathogenesis of coronary vasospasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Endothelial Dysfunction in Atherosclerosis
Jean Davignon,Peter Ganz +1 more
TL;DR: Clinical trials have shown that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) improve endothelial dysfunction in patients with coronary risk factors beyond what could be attributed to their impact on plasma lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of atorvastatin on early recurrent ischemic events in acute coronary syndromes: the MIRACL study: a randomized controlled trial.
Gregory G. Schwartz,Anders G. Olsson,Michael D. Ezekowitz,Peter Ganz,Michael F. Oliver,David D. Waters,Andreas M. Zeiher,Bernard R. Chaitman,S. Leslie,Theresa Stern +9 more
TL;DR: Effects of atorvastatin on early recurrent ischemic events in acute coronary syndromes and the MIRACL study are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Intensive Compared With Moderate Lipid-Lowering Therapy on Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis A Randomized Controlled Trial
Steven E. Nissen,E. Murat Tuzcu,Paul Schoenhagen,B. Greg Brown,Peter Ganz,Robert A. Vogel,Tim Crowe,Christopher J. Cooper,Bruce R. Brodie,Cindy L. Grines,Anthony N. DeMaria +10 more
TL;DR: For patients with coronary heart disease, intensive lipid-lowering treatment with atorvastatin reduced progression of coronary atherosclerosis compared with pravastatin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Close relation of endothelial function in the human coronary and peripheral circulations
Todd J. Anderson,Akimi Uehata,Marie D. Gerhard,Ian T. Meredith,Sarah Knab,Danielle Delagrange,Eric H. Lieberman,Peter Ganz,Mark A. Creager,Alan C. Yeung,Andrew P. Selwyn +10 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated a close relation between coronary artery endothelium-dependent vasomotor responses to acetylcholine and flow-mediated vasodilation in the brachial artery, which may become a useful surrogate in assessing the predisposition to atherosclerosis in patients with cardiac risk factors.
