Abstract excerpt

An increased serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) level is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in healthy subjects. However, it is unknown whether the level of serum IL-6 or genetic IL-6 polymorphism is correlated with the complexity of coronary plaque in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients with stable CAD (n = 135) were divided into 3 groups: insignificant coronary plaque (n...
