Abstract
- Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is associated with subclinical and clinical atherosclerosis. However, the significance of change in HGF and development of atherosclerotic disease is unknown. In a large and diverse population-based cohort, we report that change in the biomarker HGF is an independent predictor of incident CHD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
