Association of IGF-1 with coronary collateral circulation in stable coronary artery disease.
Biomarkers in Medicine 2017 July
AIM: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between coronary collateral circulation (CCC) grade and serum IGF-1 levels in patients diagnosed with stable coronary artery disease.
METHODS: Totally, 190 consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography were included in this study.
RESULTS: The patients with good CCC had significantly higher IGF-1 levels compared with the poor ones. On the contrary, hs-CRP was significantly lower in the good CCC group. We also demonstrated that IGF-1 level was significantly related with the grade of CCC.
CONCLUSION: We believe that measurement of IGF-1 level may help clinicians for predicting CCC development.
