The results of our study suggest that using non-invasive method such as ultrasonography combined with NLR and PLR in endothelial dysfunction diagnosis in PTE patients are both effective and inexpensive. We believe in PTE patients endothelial dysfunction may play a role in the development of probable cardiovascular events in future.
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.
