Systemic Markers of Interferon-γ–Mediated Immune Activation and Long-Term Prognosis in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

In patients with stable angina pectoris, systemic markers of IFN-γ activity, plasma neopterin, and plasma KTR provide similar risk estimates for MCE and mortality. Our results support experimental data linking IFN-γ to acute atherosclerotic complications.
