Association of calciprotein particles measured by a new method with coronary artery plaque in patients with coronary artery disease: A cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that a high CPP level, as measured by the novel assay, is a surrogate marker for coronary atherosclerosis, especially in lipid-rich plaques, contributing to an increased risk of plaque vulnerability. PMID: 31101573 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
