Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains one of the strongest predictors of long-term prognosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) often precedes clinically overt heart failure (HF) and is an area of extensive research nowadays. We studied the association between serum IL-6 concentrations and the extent of LV dysfunction in patients with asymptomatic LVSD. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of serum IL-6 concentrations in predicting the risk of progression to HF. Seventy-one patients entered the study and were divided into three groups based on LVEF: group 1 - patients with LVEF <30% (N=7), group 2 - patients with LVEF 30-50% (N=37) and group 3 - patients with LVEF >50% (N=27).
