Risk of Developing Coronary Artery Disease Following a Normal Coronary Angiogram in Middle-Aged Adults
11/26/2014
It is unknown whether coronary angiography in middle-aged adults showing no evidence of atherosclerosis identifies individuals at low risk for subsequent development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Even mild atherosclerosis increased the...

Determinants of Neointimal Proliferation and Stent Coverage After Intracoronary Therapy With Drug-Eluting Devices in Stable Coronary Artery Disease: Role of Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Interleukin-1 Family Cytokines
11/26/2014
We used OCT to assess the influence of circulating endothelial progenitor cells and levels of Il-1 cytokines on stent coverage and in-stent proliferation. A high EPC count seems to be a favorable individual patient factor, since it was...
