  • Abstract
    We read the article entitled ”Serum nitric oxide levels in patients with coronary artery ectasia” written by Gürlek et al. (1) and published in Anatol J Cardiol 2016;16:947-52 with great interest. Though prevalence of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) has increased with use of advanced imaging techniques in cardiology practice, the main etiological factor and mechanism is still uncertain. While atherosclerosis is the main etiological factor in adults, Kawasaki disease is the most common cause in children and young adults.
