Abstract excerpt
Recruitment of inflammatory cells to the arterial wall is an important pathogenic mechanism of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). Functional variability in the genes encoding for chemokines that promote infiltration of atherosclerotic plaques by macrophages and lymphocytes may therefore contribute to the genetic susceptibility to CAD. We, therefore, investigated the association between myocardial...
