Recently, several vasoactive molecules have been found in pericardial fluid (PF). Thus, we hypothesized that in coronary artery disease due to ischemia or ischemia–reperfusion, the level of vasoconstrictors, mainly endothelin-1 (ET-1), increases in PF, which can increase the vasomotor tone of arteries. Experiments were performed using an isometric...
