On the other hand, CD45brightCD34+KDR+ (control: 0.0097±0.008%, CAD: 0.006±0.006%, ACS: 0.006±0.004%), or CD45negCD34+KDR+ (control: 0.005±0.003%, CAD: 0.008±0.008%, ACS: 0.007±0.0068%) did not differ between controls and patients with CAD or ACS, nor was there any correlation with diseased coronaries (data not shown). This evidence concerns the gene KDR and coronary artery disorder.
