Association between inflammatory cytokines and long-term adverse outcomes in acute coronary syndromes: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory cytokines are involved in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and have been associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We systematically reviewed studies investigating the ability of multiple cytokines to predict MACE in ACS patients with follow-up of at least one year.

Methods

A Medical Subject Heading search criteria was applied on Ovid Medline(R), EMBASE, EMBASE Classic and Cochrane Library to systematically identify relevant studies published between 1945 and 2017 that had an observational study design or were randomised controlled trials.
