LDL reactivity may aid discrimination in young male MI survivors; case-control data leave prospective validation and clinical utility open.
Does LDL reactivity with arterial proteoglycans discriminate young male survivors of myocardial infarction from healthy controls?
LDL reactivity with arterial proteoglycans is a highly significant, independent factor that discriminates young male survivors of myocardial infarction from healthy controls.
