Background: The association between CD4+/CD8+ ratio and coronary plaque instability in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) has not been investigated. We sought to elucidate the correlation between CD4+/CD8+ ratio and plaque instability in this patient population. Methods: We enrolled 266 UA...
