OP-161 [AJC » Acute Coronary Syndromes] Enhanced Serum Levels of Matrix Gla Protein and Bone Morphogenetic Protein in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients

In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether serum levels of bone morphogenic protein-4 (BMP-4) and matrix Gla protein (MGP) differed in patients who were found to have normal epicardial coronary arteries or a culprit lesion in the coronary angiography leading to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Conclu...
