Abstract Background

Cytokines play a potential role in atherosclerosis pathogenesis and progression. We investigated the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods

Three hundred ten angiografically diagnosed CAD patients and 210 controls were enrolled in this study. CAD patients were stratified according to IL-6 cut-off value into high levels IL-6 group (≥ 9.5 pg/mL) and low levels IL-6 group (< 9.5 pg/mL). The severity of CAD was assessed according to Gensini score (GS), artery stenosis degree and the number of vessels involved. The mean age was 60.3 ± 11.0 years.

Results

The level of IL-6 in patients was increased compared to controls and ranged from 1.5 to 3640.0 pg/mL. High levels of IL-6 were significantly associated with high levels of GS (> 40) but not with stenosis degree and vessel score. GS levels were significantly more elevated in patients with high levels of IL-6 group than in low IL6 levels patients (60.6 ± 39.5 vs 46.7 ± 37.2; p = 0.027). The analysis of the ROC curve performed in myocardial infarction patients showed that IL-6 (AUC: 0.941 (CI 95% 0.886, 0.997; p < 0.001) could be a powerful predictor marker in evaluating the infarct size after myocardial infarction when compared to myonecrosis biomarkers.

Conclusions

IL-6 levels were associated with the severity of CAD assessed by the GS. Based on the highest levels of IL-6 measured in patients with STEMI, our study strongly suggests that IL-6 could be a powerful marker in evaluating the myocardial necrosis.
