These CpGs map to genes with key roles in calcium regulation (ATP2B2, CASR, GUCA1B, HPCAL1), and genes identified in genome- and epigenome-wide studies of serum calcium (CASR), serum calcium-related risk of CHD (CASR), coronary artery calcified plaque (PTPRN2), and kidney function (CDH23, HPCAL1), among others.
Patients with higher levels if B7-H3 had significantly higher risk for mortality in the 5-year follow-up compared with the lower group, logic analysis was also conducted and results showed that B7-H3 might be an independent risk factor for 5-year mortality for CHD patients.
We used the IMPACTCHD mortality model to estimate the effect of increased coverage of effective medical/surgical treatments and changes in major CHD risk factors on mortality trends in 2012 compared with 1990.
These findings provide a novel regulatory mechanism of miR-30c in regulating PAI-1/VN interactions and that may serve as a diagnostic biomarker of DM2 that is complicated with CHD.

Upregulated caveolin-1, filamin A, and cathepsin D combined with increased macrophagocytes and downregulated GSTM1 may be potential biomarkers and targets in the irreversibility CHD-PAH, and which may be useful in evaluating the operability and understanding the irreversibility of CHD-PAH.
• EFV on nongated-NCCT may serve as an independent biomarker for predicting coronary artery disease with accuracy equivalent to that of EFV on gated CCTA.
TET2 expression was significantly upregulated in CHD patients compared with control subjects, while only an increasing trend in the expression of DNMT1, DNMT3A and all the other TET genes were found.
Furthermore, through screening of the congenital heart diseases (CHD) sensitive region of 3p25 deletion syndrome among 118 sporadic atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) patients, we identified three cases carrying heterozygous pathogenic intronic variants of TAMM41.
In a separate group of patients with varying degrees of coronary artery disease, the decrease in EV-associated (but not plasma-related) SRC levels was confirmed by ELISA.
Right atrial biopsies, obtained from patients undergoing routine bypass surgery for coronary heart disease were subjected to immunohistology and/or western blotting for the plaque proteins plakoglobin (γ-catenin) and plakophilin 2.
Correlations of degree of coronary artery stenosis with blood lipid, CRP, Hcy, GGT, SCD36 and fibrinogen levels in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
We noted a significantly increased risk of CHD [hazard ratio (HR): 2.6 (1.5-4.3)] and CVD [HR: 2.3 (1.8-2.9)] mortality per unit increase in In (CAC + 1).
Correlations of degree of coronary artery stenosis with blood lipid, CRP, Hcy, GGT, SCD36 and fibrinogen levels in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
Our results demonstrate for the first time that Nkx2.5 acts upstream of GDF1 and the genetic variants in GDF1 promoter may confer genetic susceptibility to sporadic CHD potentially by altering its expression.
