Abstract:
Coronary stenting may create local inflammatory reaction. Interleukin 6 effects depend on the presence of soluble receptors (sIL-6R and sgp130) that facilitate or impede interleukin 6 signal transduction. Concentrations of interleukin 6 and its soluble receptors were assessed in aorta and coronary sinus after stenting in optimally treated stable angina patients scheduled for elective stenting. Baseline levels of interleukin 6 and its soluble receptors in patients did not differ from healthy controls. Initial levels of sIL-6R in aorta were significantly higher than in coronary sinus but this difference disappeared after intervention. Stenting caused interleukin 6 concentration increase to a similar extent both in coronary sinus and in aorta. Moreover, there was significantly higher sgp130 concentration in coronary sinus than in aorta. Coronary intervention increases concentration of interleukin 6 in patients with stable angina. It affects the cardiac level of interleukin 6 soluble receptors what may influence the local inflammatory reaction.
