Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of inflammatory cytokines and receptors—specifically TRAIL, IL-18, and OPG—in predicting atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD), especially when traditional risk factors are absent.
- It involved analyzing serum biomarker levels from 993 participants to see how these markers correlated with the severity of CAD as determined by CT scans.
- Although some associations were found between these inflammatory markers and CAD scores, they did not remain significant when adjusted for other risk factors like age, sex, and family history, indicating they may not be reliable standalone predictors of CAD.
