Correlation of Interleukin-6 and Monocyte Count to Troponin I in AcuteCoronary
Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) becomes an important diseases, because of its increased prevalence and mortality rates. Makers of systemic inflammation, including interleukin-6 and monocyte count, have been shown to predict future cardiovascular events. However, the association between these inflammatory markers with cardiac injury is still a controversy. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between IL-6 and monocyte count as inflammation markers and troponin I as cardiac injury. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Subjects were patients suspected of ACS admitted to the amerency department of Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta. Diagnoses were performed based on WHO criteria. Troponin 1 and interleukin-6 levels were measured from sera using sandwich ELISA method (Roche). Monocyte sounts were determined by outomatic hematology analyzer (Sysmex). Kruskal-Wallis test and Sperman’s correlation test were used to assess the difference and correlation between parameters. Results: Sixty one (1) subjects were included in the study. Age of the subjects were 51-60 years,and diagnosed as st elevation myocardial infarct (STEMI). Significant differences of IL-6 and troponin I levels were determined among unstable angina pectoris (UAP), non-ST elevantion myocardial infarct (NSTEMI), and SI elevantion myocardial infarct (STEMI). There was a moderate correlation (r=0.54; p=0.001) rnrn
