Abstract
This article discusses a study which investigated the role of inflammation in the initiation, progression and complications of arteriosclerosis. Both the inflammation of arteriosclerotic plaque and systemic inflammation can accelerate the evolution of atheroma and provoke an acute coronary syndrome. Clinical research have confirmed the existence of a correlation between inflammatory markers and the prognosis after that event.
