Overexpression of YKL-40 predicts plaque instability in carotid atherosclerosis with CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori infection.
YKL-40 has been demonstrated to be related to atherosclerosis, but its role in predicting plaque status and the outcome of carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) caused by CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori remains unclear. This study was aimed to investigate the role of YKL-40 in predicting the outcome of ca...
