Correlation of Peripheral-Blood Gene Expression With the Extent of Coronary Artery Stenosis
1 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The molecular pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) includes cytokine release and a localized inflammatory response within the vessel wall. The extent to which CAD and its severity is reflected by gene expression in circulating cells is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: From an initial coronary catheterization cohort we identified 41 patients, comprising 27 cases with angiographically...
