ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07588295
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Numerous clinical studies have highlighted the role of macrophages in the destabilization of coronary lesions; however, there is limited literature on the relationship between circulating monocytes and intraplaque macrophages. This study aims to evaluate and compare the presence of macrophages and their subsequent activation within coronary and peripheral atherosclerotic lesions, and to correlate these findings with the distribution of circulating monocyte subpopulations.
