Abstract :
We would like to thank the authors for their comments on our article (1) entitled as ‘YKL-40 as new cardiac biomarker’ in Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2013; 13: 465-70. The aim of our study was to investigate YKL-40 and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with isolated CAE compared to patients with normal coronary arteries (NCA) and coronary artery disease (CAD).
