Subgroups of monocytes predict cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease.The PHAMOS trial (Prospective Halle Monocytes Study).

CONCLUSIONS: The absolute counts of classical monocytes divided in tertiles are predictive for major adverse cardiac events in patients with CAD. A tremendous shift from classical to intermediate monocytes was also confirmed in CAD patients. These data highlight the importance of CD14++ monocytes in cardiovascular diseases.
