Elevation of circulating endothelial cells in patients after CPR. Levels of circulating endothelial cells (CEC) in peripheral blood obtained from healthy subjects, patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for less than 30 minutes (CPR <30 min) and longer than 30 minutes (CPR ≥30 min), and in all resuscitated patients (CPR all). The number of CEC in all resuscitated patients was significantly higher compared with those in both control groups. *** P < 0.0005 versus control; ** P < 0.005 versus control.
