Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is measurement of expression and activity of RBC eNOS in different clinical cohorts of patients with coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome and to investigate the importance of the NO-stimulated reaction cascade in terms of sGC and PKG.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* informed consent

* for stable CAD-Group: angiographic coronary artery disease; no acute coronary syndrome within the last 3 months
* healthy control group: No clinical or angiographical signs of apparent atherosclerosis

Exclusion Criteria

* acute inflammation (CRP \> 1 mg/dl, leukocyte \> 11.000/µl)
* malignant diseases
* pregnancy
* medication with NO-donors ( e.g.isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, glyceryl trinitrate, Molsidomin, Ranexa)
* patients with STEMI or high-risk NSTEMI
