Recent research has shown that inflammation plays a key rolein coronary artery disease (CAD) and other manifestations ofatherosclerosis. Immune cells dominate early atheroscleroticlesions, their effector molecules accelerate progression ofthe lesions, and activation of inflammation can elicit acutecoronary syndromes. This review highlights the role of inflammationin the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic CAD. It will recountthe evidence that atherosclerosis, the main cause of CAD, isan inflammatory disease in which immune mechanisms interactwith metabolic risk factors to initiate, propagate, and activatelesions in the arterial tree.
A decade ago, the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. . . [Full Text of this Article]
