ICAM1 and atherosclerosis: Biomarkers reflecting endothelial activation such as intercellular adhesion molecules-1 (ICAM-1) [6], inflammation such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) [6], oxidative stress such as malondialdehyde (MDA), oxidized LDL (oxLDL) [7] and F2-isoprostanes (ISP) [8] have been used to predict coronary risk and in the prognostication among patients with established atherosclerosis.
