Article Synopsis
- Von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays a crucial role in coronary artery disease by linking platelets to damaged blood vessels, and this study aimed to determine if VWF antigen (VWF: Ag) levels could predict clinical outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- The study involved 374 participants, including 209 with AMI, monitoring their plasma VWF: Ag levels post-coronary angiography over two years, focusing on major adverse cardiopulmonary and cerebrovascular events (MACEs).
- Results showed that AMI patients had significantly higher VWF: Ag levels than controls, and those with elevated levels were more likely to experience long-term MACEs, indicating VWF: Ag levels could serve as independent
