Long Pentraxin 3: Experimental and Clinical Relevance in Cardiovascular Diseases

<table>PTX3 as a marker of cardiovascular inflammation. A variety of cell types produce PTX3 in response to pro- and anti-inflammatory signals. Increased PTX3 levels are useful as a marker of different cardiovascular diseases including (a) cardiac inflammatory disorders, such as HF, MI, and atrial fibrillation, and (b) vascular damage, as IMT, PCI, and restenosis. </table>
