[Inflammation and chronic heart failure. The role of statins].

It has been proven that hyperproduction of proinflammatory cytokines (TNFa, IL-6, IL-1, etc) with associated endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress affect unfavorably clinico-hemodynamic parameters and prognosis of life of patients.
