Inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and
the development of atherosclerotic events. Understanding the molecular basis of …

Based on laboratory and experimental evidence, it has been hypothesized that inflammation
plays a fundamental role in atherogenesis and acute thrombosis. From an epidemiologic …

The genesis of an atherosclerotic plaque depends on interplay of cellular components of the
immune system such as monocytes, cytokines, and cell adhesion molecules with lipids …

Inflammation is a critical driver of all stages of atherosclerosis, from lesion development to
plaque rupture. Cytokines are mediators of the immune response and in atherosclerosis, the …

High blood pressure levels are associated with increases in circulating levels of
inflammation markers which can reflect vascular inflammatory processes, suggesting that …

Inflammation appears to be pivotal in all phases of atherosclerosis from the fatty streak
lesion to acute coronary syndromes. An important downstream marker of inflammation is C …

Despite progress in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, a significant proportion of first
cardiovascular events occurs among individuals without traditional risk factors. Given the …

Inflammation is intimately involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The measurement of inflammatory markers may be a potent method for identifying …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic condition characterised by the build-up of plaque in the inner
lining of the blood vessels and it is the main underlying cause of cardiovascular disease …

Atherosclerosis is widely recognized as an inflammatory disease because systemic and
local inflammatory events mediate all phases of plaque development and progression. Basic …
