The inflammatory cells in plaques and their inflammatory products may be the cause for plaque instability and ruptures.[1] Studies found three novel inflammatory markers, including lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), which were involved in the clinical prognosis and pathogenesis of CHD.[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10] Nevertheless, the association between these three inflammatory markers and plaque stability and the severity degree of coronary artery stenosis need to be further studied.
