Mary Cushman: The Role of IL-6 in Cardiovascular Disease
Mary Cushman, University Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair at the University of Vermont, shared a post on LinkedIn, about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in JACC Journals, adding:
“Love this collaborative paper I helped with on interleukin-6 and CVD related outcomes.
IL-6 is a robust predictor overall and among various subgroups, even adding to CRP effects.
Is it time for a reliable automated IL-6 assay?”
Title: The Prognostic Value of Serum Interleukin-6 Concentrations for 9 Cardiovascular and Mortality Outcomes: The Cross Cohort Collaboration (CCC)
