Of note, the changes in interleukins levels matched the severity of myocardial damage in MI subgroup of patients as inferred from the significant correlations observed between the cardiac enzyme CK-MB isoenzyme and both IL-6 (r = 0.498 and p = 0.025) and IL-10 (r = 0.467 and p = 0.038). Here, IL6 is linked to myocardial infarction.
