Prognostic value of myeloperoxidase in patients with peripheral artery disease.

Our findings indicated that myeloperoxidase levels could become a prognostic marker and may be used in conjunction with other methods for risk stratification in patients with peripheral artery disease and multi-bed vascular disease.
