Is low circulating monocyte count associated with severe aortic valve stenosis?
Severe AS is associated with decreased total monocyte count. These findings may provide further clues to the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of aortic stenosis.
Our findings suggest that erythrocyte PUFA, particularly LA and n-6 higher unsaturated fatty acids, are related to circulating CRP and adiponectin. They do not indicate that PUFA strongly interact with the PPARG2 Pro12Ala variant on these risk markers.
