[Serum values of cytokines in patients with ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension.].

The studied levels of cytokines (levels of Pro-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-1β, anti-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-10, CD40 ligand (CD40L)) in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease. Indicators of Pro-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-1β and anti-inflammatory cytokine - interleukin-10 were significantly increased in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease compared with values in healthy individuals. Elevated interleukin-1β and CD40L in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease compared with values in healthy individuals indicate inflammatory process in the endothelium.
