Abstract

We have demonstrated increased levels of the circulating soluble adhesion molecules (sCAMs), ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin in patients with unstable angina compared with healthy controls. Our findings support the role of inflammation in clinically unstable coronary disease, and may indicate a potential role for measurement of peripheral sICAM levels as a marker for inflammatory activity in atherosclerotic plaque.
