Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Several studies show that the inflammatory component in atherosclerosis may contribute to increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key pro-inflammatory and immune-stimulatory cytokine of presumed importance for CVD and the metabolic syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this case-control study, 1179 surviving myocardial infarction (MI) cases and 1528 healthy controls were...
