Summary

This study looked at whether certain blood markers (endothelial progenitor cells) can help predict the risk of a major heart event within one year after a heart attack or unstable angina. Researchers measured these markers in 180 patients who had a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The goal was to see if the markers could identify who is at higher risk, but no new treatment was tested.
