Abstract excerpt
Conventional coronary risk factors have not consistently been found to be related to restenosis after coronary angioplasty. Apolipoprotein E (apo E) gene polymorphism and/or plasma apo(a) levels were determined in 195 subjects undergoing prospective follow up and angiographic study 6 months after elective balloon angioplasty of a previously untreated coronary obstruction. Restenosis (stenosis > or = 50% plus loss...
