Melnikov et al. [20] found no correlation between mCRP levels, hs-CRP levels, and IL-6 levels in two groups of patients with carotid subclinical atherosclerosis evaluated at baseline and at a 7-year follow-up, potentially indicating that hs-CRP alone fits the profile of being an adequate marker of inflammation, but the dissociation constant might truly be a sensitive determinant of risk and pathophysiological outcome. Here, IL6 is linked to atherosclerosis.
