Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a crucial role in vascular repair, and their depletion has been involved coronary artery disease (CAD) severity. This study examines the relationship between circulating EPC levels CAD complexity, as quantified by Syntax Score I. A total of 85 patients undergoing angiography were enrolled, with EPCs using flow cytometry. proportion showed significant inverse severity, measured Additionally, we investigated presenting acute syndrome (ACS) found that was more pronounced this group compared to non-ACS (median count: 0.35 vs. 0.61, p = 0.027). These findings suggest lower are indicative severe ACS, reinforcing potential biomarkers for cardiovascular risk stratification, monitoring advancement, identifying at adverse events.
