METHODS FOR PREDICTING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

摘要

The assay of soluble endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR) is useful to predict cardiovascular disease, particularly atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). An assay for sEPCR is therefore useful to identify individuals at risk of developing ASCVD. An sEPCR ELISA assay is particularly useful for this purpose. Elevated sEPCR is indicative of an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
