Clinical and angiographical characteristics of acetylcholine- induced spasm: relationship to dose of intracoronary injection of acetylcholine.

abstract：BACKGROUND:P-selectin, an adhesion molecule of the selectin family, is expressed on the surface of activated thrombocytes by thrombin. The aim of the present study was to assess the predictive value of P-selectin (estimated by flow cytometric assay) for acute cardiac events in acute coronary syndrome. METHODS:The stud...
