Abstract
⺠IL-18 is hypothesized to destabilise atherosclerotic plaques, leading to thrombotic events. ⺠We prospectively studied serum IL-18 and CHD or stroke onset in older men and women. ⺠IL-18 was positively associated with adverse lipid and inflammatory profile. ⺠Results did not suggest independent associations between IL-18 and CHD or stroke risk.
