Non-invasive gene-expression-based detection of well-developed collateral function in individuals with and without coronary artery disease
26 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), a well grown collateral circulation has been shown to be important. The aim of this prospective study using peripheral blood monocytes was to identify marker genes for an extensively grown coronary collateral circulation. METHODS: Collateral flow index (CFI) was obtained invasively by angioplasty pressure sensor guidewire in 160 individuals (110 patients...
