Development of a blood-based gene expression algorithm for assessment of obstructive coronary artery disease in non-diabetic patients

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Alterations in gene expression in peripheral blood cells have been shown to be sensitive to the presence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). A non-invasive blood test that could reliably assess obstructive CAD likelihood wou...
