The concentration of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, is increased in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The potential effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement on ADMA plasma level in CHD patients has not yet been investigated. Concentrations of ADMA, L-arginine, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), and L-ornithine were measured in the plasma of 30 CHD patients 24 h before, and 1 h, 5 days, and 30 days following PCI with bare-metal stent or drug-eluting stent placement (stent group) and in the plasma of 20 patients without CHD who underwent angiography alone (control group). A repeated measures ANOVA revealed the significant time by group interaction for ADMA (F=12.8, p
