The elevated levels of soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 are associated with coronary atherosclerotic plaque destabilization in unstable angina patients: a case control study
Circulating sST2 levels are elevated in UA patients and independently associated with features of coronary plaque destabilization identified by OCT. These findings suggest sST2 may be a novel biomarker reflecting plaque destabilization in patients with UA, potentially aiding in risk stratification.
