Abstract:
Serum inflammatory markers have important value for screening unstable carotid atherosclerosis plaques.The current studies tend to classify inflammatory markers into vascular specificity (such as lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2,pentraxin-3,etc.) and non-vascular specificity (such as matrix metalloproteinase-9,pregnancy-related plasma protein A,etc.).This article reviews the relationship between serum inflammatory markers and carotid plaque stability.
