The assessment of contractile reserve after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The CD40 receptor and its ligand (CD40L) are known to modulate both inflammation and thrombosis-2 processes important for the development and clinical expression of atherosclerosis. Circulating soluble CD40L (sCD40L) concentration predicts cardiovascular risk in selected patient samples. The purpose of this ...
