About this trial
The aim of this study is to measure the levels of serum tryptase and correlate them with the severity of coronary artery disease in study population. In addition, it will evaluate the usability of tryptase levels as a prognostic biomarker for future cardiovascular events.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male and female subjects aged 18 - 85 years old.
Clinical symptoms of angina which are classified based on the Canadian Cardiovascular Score (CCS score)
Positive SPECT scan for myocardial ischemia
Disqualifiers

Trial population
This is a multicentre study which take place at the military hospital 417 NIMTS, Athens and the Larissa University Hospital, Larissa. Participants from both locations are patients who are going to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. These patients will enter the study after fulfiling the inclusion criteria.
