Abstract
BACKGROUND: Multiple studies support a role for inflammation in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis and unstable cardiac syndromes. However, of the known proinflammatory cytokines, only elevated plasma levels of interleukin-6 have been linked to unstable angina. We sought to examine the plasma levels of other major proinflammatory cytokines in similar clinical settings and to determine the extent of the relationship between inflammation and unstable coronary syndromes by measuring the levels of various proinflammatory cytokines in patients with stable and unstable angina. METHODS: We measured plasma levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in 97 patients: 67 with stable angina, 24 with unstable angina, and 15 healthy controls. RESULTS: Mean levels of IL-1beta were significantly higher in patients with unstable angina as compared to patients with stable angina (p =.009). Levels of IL-6 were significantly higher than control patients for both stable angina and unstable angina patients (p =.031 and.006, respectively). No significant differences were found in the levels of TNF-alpha. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that both IL-1beta and IL-6 contribute to the pathogenesis of unstable angina, and that the profile of circulating plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines differs in unstable angina from that in stable angina.
