The presence of effort induced angina, positive exercise stress test responses and angiographically normal coronary arteries defines cardiac syndrome X (CSX). Its pathogenesis, although mostly attributed to endothelial dysfunction and coronary microcirculation abnormalities, is incompletely understood. The soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) has multiple autocrine, paracrine and endocrine actions that may lead to endothelial dysfunction and atherothrombosis. We sought to investigate the relationship among sCD40L levels and ischemic burden in patients with CSX and whether sCD40L levels are increased in patients with CSX compared to control subjects.
