Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Group A • Men and women > 18 years of age • A positive stress test or symptoms related to stable CAD • Patients who are scheduled for an elective PCI for 1 significant stenotic lesion ;Group B: • Men and women > 18 years of age • Patients with an acute coronary syndrome, defined as having unstable angina with elevated troponins • During the coarse of the PCI procedure it has become clear that a single occlusion needs to be revascularised.;Group C: • Men and women > 18 years • Patients who are seen at the outpatient clinic and in whom cardiac disease is excluded • Exclusion of cardiac disease is established by laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, echocardiography and/or an exercise test.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the correlation between endogenous EPO levels and coronary collateral flow | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secundary objectives are: - to assess if there are differences in endogenous EPO leves, EPC levels and EPC function in patients with stable and unstable CAD, compared to age and sex matched controls; - to explore the correlation between the number of functional EPCs and the extent of coronary collateral flow in patients with stable and unstable angina; - to study the effect of resolving the coronary artery stenosis on endogenous EPO and EPC levels/function before and after the PCI procedure. | — |
