Imbalances of Pro-inflammatory cytokines in myocardial infarction patients

To assess levels of Interleukin-1 β and CRP, in Diabetic and Non-diabetic Myocardial Infarction patients, prior to and post angioplasty. 200 patients were recruited in the study. MI patients between the age of 40 and 60 years. Patients came to NICVD with complaints of chest pain, positive Troponin T test and ECG was the confirmatory test for MI. They were divided into 2 groups 100 patients each. First group comprised of MI patients without DMT-II and second group comprised of MI patients with DMT-II. Serum triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL and HDL, FBS, by enzymatic kits, Insulin by RIA. HbA1C, Interleukin-1 β and CRP by ELIZA. Interleukin1β and CRP were significantly higher (P
