Abstract

rowing evidence suggests that the immune system plays a critical role in all the stages of atherogenesis, from lesion formation to plaque rupture. 1 The inflammatory component of atherothrombosis is a topic of intensive research, since it is still unclear whether inflammatory markers measurable in peripheral blood can be useful tools for risk assessment in the general population; it is also unknown whether therapeutic strategies leading to a decrease of these inflammatory markers can modify cardiovascular risk.w1
