Endothelial progenitor cells as therapeutic agents in the microcirculation: an update.

abstract：:Quantitative assessment of atherosclerosis during its natural history and following therapeutic interventions is important, as cardiovascular disease remains the most significant cause of morbidity and mortality in industrial societies. While coronary angiography delineates the vessel lumen, permitting only the indire...
