Background: Aging patients easily suffer from non-ST segment elevation myocardial
infarction (NSTEMI). Our previous studies revealed declined function of endothelial …

Background ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) persists to be prevalent in
the elderly with a dismal prognosis. The capacity of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is …

Background. Aging is an independent risk factor for heart failure (HF), and endothelial
progenitor cell (EPC) function decreases with aging. Here, we further investigated whether …

Background Middle-aged women have a lower prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD)
compared with age-matched men, but mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain …

Background. Men have a higher risk and earlier onset of cardiovascular diseases compared
with premenopausal women. Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for the …

Objectives Recent studies have revealed an association between coronary risk factors and
both the number and function of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) …

Background and aim This study tested the hypothesis that obesity suppresses circulating
number as well as the function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and left ventricular …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to the endogenous endothelial repair
program during hypercholesterolemia. EPC count and migratory and proliferative capacities …

Background There are numerous articles on the endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in
different disease conditions. However, the functional properties of EPCs in acute coronary …

Background Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a role in the repair and
regeneration of the endothelium and may represent a novel cardiovascular risk factor. South …
