Elevated serum neopterin levels and adverse cardiac events at 6 months follow-up in Mediterranean patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

Atherosclerosis. 2008 Nov;201(1):176-83, PMID: 18336825

Little information exists regarding the prognostic role of biomarkers of inflammation in Mediterranean patients. High C-reactive protein and neopterin levels - a marker of macrophage activation - predict cardiovascular events in stable angina patients and patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We sought to assess whether plasma neopterin levels predict adverse clinical outcomes in Mediterranean patients with non-ST elevation (NSTE) ACS, i.e. unstable angina (UA) and NSTE myocardial infarction (MI).
