Serial Changes in Circulating Concentrations of Soluble CD40 Ligand and C-Reactive Protein in Patients With Unstable Angina Undergoing Coronary Stenting Role of Inflammatory Mediators in Predicting Late Restenosis

Abstract

Circulating concentrations of sCD40L and hs-CRP were significantly increased in unstable angina patients pre-procedure and declined substantially thereafter. However, the circulating concentrations of these 2 inflammatory mediators were not useful in predicting late restenosis following coronary stenting.
