Relative value of multiple plasma biomarkers as risk factors for coronary artery disease and death in an angiography cohort

Abstract

A comparison of elevated levels of CRP, IL-6, SAA and tHcy with traditional CAD risk factors indicated that IL-6 and tHcy were the strongest independent biomarkers for CAD-related death. Elevated levels of multiple biomarkers were associated with an increasing rate of all-cause and CAD-related death.
