Purpose of this study was to investigate association of some hemostasis (factor II, factor VII, factor XII, antithrombin III) and endothelial dysfunction (endothelin 1, MCP-1, adhesion molecules sVCAM-1, ADMA, homocysteine, PAI-1) factors/biomarkers with probability of presence of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in men with coronary atherosclerosis. The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is endothelial dysfunction.
