pubmed:abstractText
Angiographically visible complex lesions which are associated with plaque vulnerability have been shown to correlate strongly with clinical severity of unstable angina (UA). By activating different immune/inflammatory cells or directly acting on the vessel wall leptin has been shown to play a potential role in the development of acute coronary syndrome. However, the relationship between leptin and simple or complex lesion morphology in UA has not been investigated. Therefore, we designed this study to determine the association between plasma leptin level and simple or complex lesions in patients with UA and to see any correlation between leptin and other inflammatory markers in these patients.
