Are elevated asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels associated with recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with unstable angina?
Persistently elevated ADMA levels at 6 weeks post-PCI in patients with unstable angina are associated with a higher risk of recurrent cardiovascular events.
Krempl et al. (2005) studied this question.
