CXCL10 is largely engaged in several cardiac and cardiovascular dysfunctions, such as atherogenesis and plaque formation, infarction, aneurysm, myocarditis, and cardiopulmonary bypass (Scolletta et al., 2011; van den Borne et al., 2014; Altara et al., 2016a; Altara et al., 2016b; Szentes et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and aneurysm.
