OBJECTIVE: Proinflammatory cytokines play a major role in the pathomechanisms of heart failure. Besides this, the influence of mental stress on heart failure is poorly documented despite its effects on sympathetic stimulation of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion. We examined whether the polymorphisms of proinflammatory cytokines are predictors of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and if so, whether such...
