Clinical and biochemical parameters obtained by complex investigation of 100 patients suffering from intermittent claudication are presented by the authors. After taking the family and case history, we examined the patients and took laboratory tests including several lipid components, blood clotting
to assess possibilities of the use of biochemical markers combined with data of methods of imaging of arterial atherosclerotic lesions for evaluation of risk of presence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis.
We enrolled into this study patients (n=205, 136 men, 69 women, age 33-85 years, 94% on
Platelets can be found on the surface of inflamed and ruptured atherosclerotic plaques. Thus, targeting of activated platelets may allow for molecular imaging of vulnerable atherosclerotic lesions. We here investigated microbubbles (MB) functionalized with the selectin ligand sialyl Lewisa
