[Effect of statins on activity of matrix metalloproteases and serum concentration of cystatin C in patients with various risk of development of ischemic heart disease and in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery]
Abstract
We compared new non-lipid atherosclerosis indexes related to inflammation and macrophage stimulation (serum concentration of cystatin C, matrix metalloproteases and chitotriosidase activity) with common inflammatory (high sensitivity C reactive protein) and lipid markers in elderly persons and patients with atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease who have undergone coronary bypass surgery.
