[The role of interleukins in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis].
There is now doubt today that inflammation plays one of the key roles in the development of atherosclerosis. Numerous data demonstrate a connection between acute cardiovascular complications and laboratory signs of inflammation. There is a connection between signs of inflammation and an unfavorable prognosis in cardiovascular patients. Proinflammatory cytokines are divided into several groups: interleukins, interferons, tumor necrosis factors, colony stimulating factors, and hemopoietic cytokines. All these groups of cytokines are involved in the immune inflammation process in atherosclerosis.
