Timing of Postdischarge Follow-Up and Medication Adherence Among Patients With Heart Failure.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Lower levels of circulating progenitor cells (PCs) reflect impaired endogenous regenerative capacity and are associated with aging, vascular disease, and poor outcomes. Whether biologic sex and sex hormones influence PC numbers remains a subject of controversy. We sought to determine sex differences in circu...
