Outline of Final Research Achievements

In consecutive 31 VSA patients and 18 non-VSA patients, we measured Rho-kinase activity in circulating leukocytes at 6:00, 12:00 and 21:00. We also examined the relationship between the Rho-kinase activity and coronary vasomotor responses. Rho-kinase activity showed a significant circadian variation with a peak at 6:00 in VSA patients, whereas no such variation was noted in non-VSA patients. Importantly, Rho-kinase activity at spasm provocation test was significantly correlated with basal coronary tone defined by vasodilating responses to intracoronary nitrate and coronary vasoconstricting responses to acetylcholine in VSA patients. Furthermore, their Rho-kinase activity at 6:00 was positively correlated with nocturnal parasympathetic activity as evaluated by heart rate variability in Holter monitoring. These data suggest that Rho-kinase activity exhibits distinct circadian variation associated with alterations in coronary vasomotor responses and autonomic activity in VSA patients
