title: Early temporal expression of soluble cellular adhesion molecules in patients with unstable angina and subendocardial myocardial infarction.
abstract: Inflammation is increasingly considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes. We documented persistent elevation in the levels of soluble ICAM-1 and soluble VCAM-1 and a decrease in the levels of soluble E-selectin in the first 72 hours of acute presentation in patients with unstable angina and subendocardial myocardial infarction.
