Value of soluble Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor over age as a biomarker of impaired myocardial relaxation

Abstract Background SuPAR is a biomarker that reflects the level of immune activation. As inflammation plays an important role in the ageing process of the cardiovascular system, we hypothesized that suPAR might be a useful predictive biomarker of the ageing heart. Methods We performed conventional...
