      <i>Background</i> - The cysteine protease legumain is increased in patients with atherosclerosis, but its causal role in atherogenesis and cardiovascular disease is still unclear. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of legumain with clinical outcome in a large cohort of patients with acute coronary syndrome.<p><p> <i>Methods and Results</i> - Serum levels of legumain were ...
