Circulating osteogenic proteins are associated with coronary artery calcification and increase after myocardial infarction.

Circulating osteogenic proteins are associated with coronary artery calcification and increase after myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND:Coronary artery calcification (CAC) and atherosclerotic inflammation associate with increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Vascular calcification is regulated by osteogenic proteins (OPs). It is unknown whether an association exists between CAC and plasma OPs and if they are affect...
