Serum Levels of Soluble Fas Ligand and Soluble Fas Receptor in Patients with Chronic Congestive Heart Failure

摘要

To understand the pathophysiologic significances of soluble Fas Ligand (sFasL) and soluble Fas receptor (sFas) in chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) and to determine the relationship of circulating levels of sFasL and sFas to the severity of CHF, the serum sFasL and sFas levels were evaluated in patients with CHF.
