Expression patterns of markers of inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation in early phase of acute coronary syndrome

Inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation play an important role in pathogenesis of vulnerable plaques of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However little is known about the inter-relation of these in early phase of ACS. This study sought to determine a possible multimarker strategy...
