Introduction: Differences in the prevalence and prognosis of cardiovascular disease have been linked with gender specific risk factors as well as the differential impact of sex hormones. Moreover, specific genetic polymorphisms may increase further the risk of cardiovascular disease development. Polymorphisms of genes encoding the NADPH/NADPH oxidase system and the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) have been associated with atherosclerosis in the general population, but...
