Multi-Imaging Investigation to Evaluate the Relationship between Serum Cystatin C and Features of Atherosclerosis in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

Multi-Imaging Investigation to Evaluate the Relationship between Serum Cystatin C and Features of Atherosclerosis in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

Objectives: High cystatin C(CysC) levels are associated with impaired cardiovascular outcome. Whether CysC levels are independently related to the atherosclerosis burden is still controversial. Methods: We enrolled 31 non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous...
