pubmed:abstractText |
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with a central role in the inflammatory cascade. In the present study, we investigated whether patients with precocious myocardial infarction have higher plasma IL-18 concentrations than matched controls. Furthermore, the relationships between plasma IL-18 concentrations and coronary atherosclerosis, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and traditional cardiovascular risk factors were examined.
