Biochemical Markers for Determining Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque in Stenotic Patient: Biochemical Markers Study of Myeloperoxidase (MPO), Matrix Metallo-Proteinase-9 (MMP-9), Secretory Phospholipase A2 (SPLA2) and CD40 Ligand
BACKGROUND: Thrombus is a main cause of cardiac death. Therefore identifying which coronary artery plaque is vulnerable to rupture is a critical step for cardiac intervention to prevent future cardiac events. Systemic biochemical markers are used for predicting rupture of coronary plaque or identify...
