Abstract
In patients who had unstable angina pectoris and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, initial blood levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were found not to be higher,than those in asymptomatic patients who had coronary artery disease. Although troponin T and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were found to have prognostic value, blood levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were not predictive of an increased risk of major cardiac events during 6-month follow-up.
