Diagnostic and prognostic significance of serum angiopoietin-1 and -2 concentrations in patients with pulmonary hypertension

Abstract Several biomarkers for detecting pulmonary hypertension (PH) have been reported. However, these biomarkers are deemed insufficient to detect PH in its early stages. We evaluated the utility of serum angiopoietin (ANGP), a glycoprotein related to angiogenesis, as a diagnostic and prognostic...
