The changes in serum concentrations of cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) beta, interleukin- 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and a soluble-intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM- 1) has been investigated in patients with stable angina and acute myocardial infarction. Thirty- four patients with stable angina (SA), 15 with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and 20 subjects in the control (C) group were included in the study.

The mean serum concentrations of sICAM-1, IL-1-beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha differed signif icantly among the three groups. Serum concentrations of IL-1 beta, sICAM-1, and TNF-alpha were comparable in the AMI and SA groups and higher than those found in the C group (p<0.001). The serum concentration of IL-6 was more than twice as high in the AMI group as compared to the other two groups (p<0.001). The mean serum concentrations of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were comparable in the AMI and SA groups and higher than in the C group.
