THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM URIC ACID LEVEL AND SEVERITY OF STABLE CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Objective: Cardiovascular disease risk factors are known to be associated with elevated serum uric acid levels. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of coronary artery disease and serum uric acid levels in patients undergoing coronary angiography for known stable ischemic heart disease
Endocan: a biomarker predicting successful reperfusion after coronary artery by-pass surgery of acute coronary syndrome patients.
OBJECTIVE: Endothelial specific molecule 1 (Endocan) is a biomarker of the inflammatory process occurring in endothelial cells. It was shown that endocan was increased in acute coronary syndromes. We aimed at investigating the endocan levels in acute coronary syndrome patients after coronary bypass surgery
