The maximum flow rate, PIP1 and BCI were significantly lower in patients who required CISC after BTX-A treatment than in those who did not. A PIP1 of<or =50 in women and a BCI of<or =120 might be predictive of a need for CISC in this setting, and might help when counselling patients.
In contrast to the critical role of CCR2 in the initiation of atherogenesis, bone marrow progenitor cell-derived CCR2 does not influence the progression of established atherosclerotic lesions, pointing to additional mechanisms for recruitment of monocytes at later stages of lesion development.
