  Background: Atherogenic progression in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) involves a chronic inflammatory process, where local production or release of pro-inflammatory mediators into coronary circulation has a main role. Proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNFα and IL1β have been particularly related with the atheroma plaque and CAD severity. Aim: To explore whether characteristics of the coronary artery affected by atheroma plaque were related with coronary circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and their modifications after angioplasty. Methods: Patients with CAD and stable coronary plaque, submitted to coronary angiography and stenting. Coronary artery lumen diameter at the site of the main atherogenic lesion was measured by intravascular ultrasound, whereas IL-6, TNFα and IL1β concentration in cor.. View More»
