Healthy volunteer carriers of the GG allele but not spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) patients had a reduction in carotid artery distensibility. (A) Carotid artery strain was significantly reduced in carriers of the GG allele in the combined study group (P = 0.027, one-way ANOVA, AA = 70, AG = 65, GG = 18). (B) In SCAD, patient sub-group no difference in strain was observed with genotype (P = 0.19, one-way ANOVA, AA = 55, AG = 47, GG = 11). (C) Healthy volunteers showed a significant reduction in strain with genotype with reduced strain observed in carriers of the GG allele (P = 0.031, one-way ANOVA, AA = 15, AG = 18, GG = 7).
