ABSTRACT
The evaluation of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers has always been a hot topic in various diseases. Considering that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have the highest mortality and morbidity rates in the world, various studies have been conducted so far to find CVD associated biomarkers, including cardiac troponin (cTn) and NT-proBNP. Cytokines are components of the immune system that are involved in the pathogenesis of CVD due to their contribution to the inflammation process. The level of cytokines varies in many cardiovascular diseases. For instance, the plasma level of IL-1α, IL-18, IL-33, IL-6 and IL-8 is positively correlated with atherosclerosis and that of some other interleukins such as IL-35 is negatively correlated with acute myocardial infarction or cardiac angina. Due to its pivotal role in the inflammation process, IL-1 super family is involved in many CVDs, including atherosclerosis. IL-20 among the interleukins of IL-10 family has a pro-atherogenic role, while others, such as IL-10 and IL-19, play an anti-atherogenic role. In the present review, we have collected the latest published evidence in this respect to discuss valuable cytokines from the diagnostic and prognostic stand point in CVDs.
