The interaction of endothelial nitric oxide synthase polymorphism and current smoking in terms of increased arterial stiffness.
TL;DR: Genetically determined disorder of nitric oxide metabolism was associated with increased stiffness of peripheral, muscular-type arteries in generally healthy, untreated subjects, but only in the interaction with current smoking.
