In that perspective, we had studied the association of sCD40L with markers of platelet activation and markers of endothelial and vascular function. On that cohort, a stratification of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 1 month after percutaneous coronary i...
Prognostic Value of VEGF in Patients Submitted to Percutaneous Coronary Interve...
Ramos, C; Napoleão, P; Selas, M; Freixo, C; Viegas Crespo, AM; Mota Carmo, M; Cruz Ferreira, R; Pinheiro, TWe examined the longitudinal changes of VEGF levels after percutaneous coronary intervention for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. VEGF was measured in 94 CAD patients' serum before revascularization, 1-month and 1-year after. Independently of clinical presentation, patients had lower VEGF concentration than a cohort of healthy subjects (median, IQ: 15.9, ...
