Association between plasma ceramides and inducible myocardial ischemia in patients with established or suspected coronary artery disease undergoing myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

Distinct plasma ceramides are positive and independent predictors of stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects in patients with established or suspected CAD referred for clinically indicated MPS. Further research is needed to examine whether distinct plasma ceramides could be a useful therapeutic target for treatment and management of CAD.
