Lino et al. found that plasma vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were increased in patients with HF after AMI, and that it may serve as biomarkers for HF after AMI and have a significant contribution to the prediction of HF after AMI (34). This evidence concerns the gene ICAM1 and hydrops fetalis.
