Assessment of the Relationship Between Serum Vascular Adhesion Protein-1 (VAP-1) and Severity of Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis.

CONCLUSIONS: The present study was the first to demonstrate a significant relationship between increased serum VAP-1 levels and the severity of calcific AS. VAP-1 might be a useful biomarker for the evaluation of AS and the follow up of its severity. PMID: 27997774 [PubMed]
