OBJECTIVE To determine if a cytokine panel could be informative regarding subsequent heart failure(HF)/death. DESIGN AND METHODS In 216 subjects presenting with chest pain to an emergency department in 1996, EDTA plasma (-70 degrees C) was thawed for IL-6, MCP-1, IL-10, VEGF, EGF measurement. RESULTS Subjects with any three cytokines elevated were at higher risk for HF/death compared to those with < or = two cytokines elevated. DISCUSSION A cytokine panel might be useful for risk stratification for HF/death.

使用细胞因子面板来定义在急诊科就诊的胸痛患者心力衰竭/死亡的长期风险分层。

目的 确定细胞因子组是否可以提供有关后续心力衰竭 (HF)/死亡的信息。设计和方法 1996 年，在急诊科就诊的 216 名患有胸痛的受试者中，将 EDTA 血浆（-70 摄氏度）解冻用于 IL-6、MCP-1、IL-10、VEGF、EGF 测量。结果 与<或=两种细胞因子升高的受试者相比，任何三种细胞因子升高的受试者发生心衰/死亡的风险更高。讨论 细胞因子组可能有助于心衰/死亡的风险分层。
