Correlation of Serum Decoy Receptor 3 and Interleukin-6 with Severity of Coronary Artery Diseases in Male Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients.

Background: Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), is a soluble receptor which is thought to have immune modulator or pro-inflammatory effects. Various risk factors have been suggested for the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CADs) such as an increase in inflammatory factors. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation of DcR3 with anthropometric, angiographic, echocardiographic, and biochemical parameters in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
