Plasma Levels of Cl q/TNF-Related Protein 1 and Interleukin 6 in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome or Stable Angina Pectoris

The variation of plasma CTRP-1 and IL-6 concentrations may play an important role in reflecting the degree of inflammation in CHD and the severity of coronary arterial atherosclerosis. This potential suggests that evaluating CTRP-1 and IL-6 in combination may aid in predicting the occurrence of CHD.
