Changes in blood level of EMP in patients with cardiovascular and other diseases

Disease/condition EMP changes and phenotypes Methods Main finding(s) Ref
Acute Coronary syndrome CD146+, CD31 + SPC Elevated EMP levels with a pro-coagulant activity [55]
CD31+ FCM EMP levels correlated with high-risk lesions [61]
Stroke CD105+, CD144+ FCM Link between EMP, severity lesions and clinical outcome [62]
Hypertension CD31+/CD42 FCM EMP levels correlated with both SBP and DPB [63]
Pulmonaryhypertension CD31 +/CD41, CD144 FCM Levels of EMP predict haemodynamic severity of pulmonary hypertension [64]
Type 2 diabetes CD144+ FCM EMP levels correlated with coronary artery disease [65]
Type 1 diabetes CD51+ FCM EMP levels correlated with HbA1c [66]
End-stage renal disease CD144+, CD31+/CD41 FCM High levels of EMP correlated with impaired vascular function [67]
Antiphospholipidsyndrome CD51+ FCM EMP correlated with Lupus anticoagulant [68]
Obesity CD31+/CD42, FCM High levels of EMP correlated with altered FMD [69]
Post-prandial hypertriglyceridemia CD31+/CD42 FCM EMP correlated with high fat meal [70]
TTP CD31+, CD51+, CD54+, CD62E+, CD105+, CD106+ FCM Elevated EMP correlated with endothelial activation [71]
Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglo-binuria CD105+, CD144+ FCM Elevated EMP reflected the inflammatorystatus of endothelial cells [72]
Pulmonary or venous embolism CD62E+, CD31+/CD42 FCM [73]
Sickle cell disease CD144+ FCM EMP levels correlated with crisis [53]
