The relationship between serum lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 levels and systolic heart failure

Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) appears to be involved in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and rupture. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the utility of serum LOX-1 levels in the diagnosis and assessment of left ventricular systolic HF and LOX-1’s relationship with serum pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).This was a cross-sectional study of all eligible patients admitted to the department of...
