NMR-based plasma metabolic profiling in patients with unstable angina
Objective(s): Unstable angina (UA) is a form of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that affects more than a third of the population before age 70. Due to the limitations of diagnostic tests, appropriate identification of UA is difficult. In this study, we proceeded to investigate metabolite profiling in UA patients compared with controls to determine potential candidate...
متن کاملAnalysis of plasma homocysteine levels in patients with unstable angina.
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of hyperhomocystinemia in patients with acute ischemic syndrome of the unstable angina type. METHODS We prospectively studied 46 patients (24 females) with unstable angina and 46 control patients (19 males), paired by sex and age, blinded to the laboratory data. Details of diets, smoking habits, medication used, body mass index, and the presence of hypert...
متن کاملElevated plasma osteopontin levels were associated with osteopontin expression of CD4+ T cells in patients with unstable angina.
BACKGROUND Plaque instability in patients with unstable angina (UA) is associated with stimulated CD4+ T cells, so the present study investigated whether there is a relationship among plaque instability, osteopontin and CD4+ T cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from 51 consecutive patients with UA, 60 patients with stable angina (SA), and 39 patients ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of circulating pregnancy-associated plasma protein levels in patients with chronic stable angina.
AIMS Unstable coronary atherosclerotic plaque can be present in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Our objective was to assess whether measurement of plasma pregnancy-associated plasma protein (PAPP-A) level, a reflection of plaque instability, in patients with chronic stable CAD had an independent prognostic value on the subsequent incidence of death, acute coronary sy...
