Summary

This study is measuring a thin layer inside blood vessels called the glycocalyx in 35 adults with coronary heart disease before and after bypass surgery. Researchers want to understand how this layer and oxidative stress affect blood vessel function. The goal is to find new markers that could help diagnose or monitor heart disease.
