Résumé

Coronary artery spasm (CAS) is a frequent finding in patients presenting with angina pectoris. Although the pathogenesis of CAS is incompletely understood, previous studies suggested a genetic contribution. Our study aimed to elucidate genetic variants in a cohort of European patients with angina and unobstructed coronary arteries who underwent acetylcholine (ACh) provocation testing. A candidate association analysis of 208 genes previously associated with cardiovascular conditions was performed using genotyped and imputed variants in patients grouped in epicardial (focal, diffuse) CAS (n = 119) and microvascular CAS (n = 87). Patients with a negative ACh test result (n = 45) served as controls. We found no association below the genome-wide significance threshold of p < 5 × 10 In summary, we suggest EDN1 as potential genetic risk loci for patients with diffuse epicardial CAS, and European ancestry. Plasma ET-1 levels may serve as a potential cardiac marker.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Coronary artery spasm (CAS) is a frequent finding in patients presenting with angina pectoris. Although the pathogenesis of CAS is incompletely understood, previous studies suggested a genetic contribution. Our study aimed to elucidate genetic variants in a cohort of European patients with angina and unobstructed coronary arteries who underwent acetylcholine (ACh) provocation testing.
METHODS METHODS
A candidate association analysis of 208 genes previously associated with cardiovascular conditions was performed using genotyped and imputed variants in patients grouped in epicardial (focal, diffuse) CAS (n = 119) and microvascular CAS (n = 87). Patients with a negative ACh test result (n = 45) served as controls.
RESULTS RESULTS
We found no association below the genome-wide significance threshold of p < 5 × 10
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
In summary, we suggest EDN1 as potential genetic risk loci for patients with diffuse epicardial CAS, and European ancestry. Plasma ET-1 levels may serve as a potential cardiac marker.
