medicine | serum cathepsin L levels are significantly higher in patients with coronary heart disease than in those without coronary heart disease. Patients with unstable angina pectoris have higher serum cathepsin L levels than those with stable angina pectoris. Of patients with acute coronary syndrome, those with acute myocardial infarction have higher serum cathepsin L levels than those with unstable angina pectoris, and patients with previous myocardial infarction have the highest levels. Serum cathepsin L associates positively with number of coronary branch luminal narrowings, Gensini scores, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fasting glucose, and cigarette smokers, but inversely with high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein A1 | Homo sapiens |
