Circulating progenitor cell count for cardiovascular risk stratification: a pooled analysis.

BACKGROUND: Circulating progenitor cells (CPC) contribute to the homeostasis of the vessel wall, and a reduced CPC count predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We tested the hypothesis that CPC count improves cardiovascular risk stratification and that this is modulated by low-grade inflam...
