Figure 6

Relation between carotid eVCAM-1 and coronary artery disease (CAD). Representative images of mild (A) and severe (B) atherosclerotic lesion in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Severity of CAD determined as mean intima- media ratio (I/M) in LAD and right coronary artery (RCA). Scale bar corresponds to 200 μM. (C) first row: A positive linear relation was found between coronary artery I/M and eVCAM-1 in the bifurcation and to a lesser extent in the proximal CCA; (C) middle row: The correlation was strongest in the LAD while eVCAM-1 was at most weakly associated with CAD in the RCA ((C), third row). eVCAM-1, endothelial VCAM-1; CCA, common carotid artery.
