Immunoglobulin G (IgG) anticardiolipin antibodies and recurrent cardiovascular events. A systematic review and Bayesian meta-regression analysis.

Anticardiolipin antibodies of the immunoglobulin G isotype (IgG aCL) have been suggested as risk factor for arterial and venous thrombosis. No conclusive data in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) do exist. We investigate the risk of recurrent CAD according to the presence of IgG aCL.
