Abstract 2872: Interleukin-18/interleukin-10 Ratio is an Independent Predictor of Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract
Background: The balance between pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-18 and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 has been suggested to play a role in atherogenesis and in the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We hypothesized that stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients have a pro-inflammatory profile prior to an acute event.
