title = "Vascular versus myocardial dysfunction in acute coronary syndrome: Are the adhesion molecules as powerful as NT-proBNP for long-term risk stratification?",
abstract = "Objectives: To determine if elevations of adhesion molecules in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are useful for risk stratification. Design and methods: A cell adhesion array (Randox Ltd.) and NT-proBNP were measured in 216 ACS patients. Results: Kaplan-Meier and Cox models indicate early elevations of NT-proBNP but not the adhesion molecules are predictive of future death/myocardial infarction. Discussion: Elevations of adhesion molecules early after pain onset in ACS are not useful for long-term risk stratification.",
