- Title:
- Plasma TF activity predicts cardiovascular mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
- Abstract:
- ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND: Tissue factor (TF) contributes to thrombosis following plaque disruption in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Aim of the study was to investigate the impact of plasma TF activity on prognosis in patients with ACS. METHODS AND RESULTS: One-hundred seventy-four patients with unstable Angina pectoris (uAP) and 112 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were included with a mean follow up time of 3.26 years. On admission, plasma TF activity was assessed. Patients were categorized into 2 groups: a high-TF activity group with TF >24 pmol/L and low TF activity group with TF
