Abstract
⺠Circulating level of nociceptin was studied in patients with angina pectoris. ⺠Significantly lower levels were found in all groups of patients. ⺠Nociceptin level was in positive correlation with severity of chronic ischemia. ⺠Atherosclerosis related chronic ischemia results in decreased plasma level. ⺠Low nociceptin plasma level may predispose for acute cardiovascular syndromes.
