Elevated Inflammation and Adhesion Molecule hsCRP, GDF-15 and VCAM-1 in Angina Patients with Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease
Elevated levels of the hsCRP, GDF-15, and VCAM-1 were found with NOCAD, despite the absent of significant coronary obstruction. VCAM-1 successfully predicted NOCAD and may thus serve as an early NOCAD biomarker. Significant correlations of hsCRP, GDF-15, and VCAM-1 level in peripheral and coronary blood indicate that the peripheral levels of these biomarkers reflect the levels and changes that occur at the coronary level.
