| Research Abstract |
The cause of rupture of atherosclerotic site in vasculature, which trigger unstable angina and myocardial infarction, is not elucidated yet. In this research we found that CX3CL1, one of protein which induce inflammation, was elevated immediately after injuring atherosclerotic site and maintained the level at least 12-hour. And it was more elevated with more lipid-rich atherosclerotic site. It is suggested that plasma CX3CL1 might be a diagnostic marker of unstable angina and myocardial infarction.
