Aortic stenosis is an inflammatory disease, associated with increased tissue levels of interleukin-1 beta. We hypothesized that the antagonist of interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, is deficient in aortic valves and that its production by aortic valve interstitial cells is less in cells from stenotic valves than from controls.
