Five-Year Outcomes of Moderate or Ambiguous Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

Young Joon Hong , MD;

ABSTRACT: Background. Ruptured plaques are associated with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) that, in turn, are associated with a poor prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to...
