The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between coronary collateral circulation (CCC) grade and serum IGF-1 levels in patients diagnosed with stable coronary artery disease.
Totally, 190 consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography were included in this study.
The patients with good CCC had significantly higher IGF-1 levels compared with the poor ones. On the contrary, hs-CRP was significantly lower in the good CCC group. We also demonstrated that IGF-1 level was significantly related with the grade of CCC.
We believe that measurement of IGF-1 level may help clinicians for predicting CCC development.
