In this relatively small prospective study, serum PTH level is associated with the number of stenotic coronary arteries. There is a correlation between high PTH level with hypertension and low ejection fraction. A prospective study that evaluates the additional value added (by ROC analysis) by PTH to already known cardiac risk factors is recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
