Many mediators of inflammation have been identified— cytokines IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha cell adhesion molecules intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-I), P-selectin and acute phase reactants CR.R fibrinogen, serum amyloid A, and soluble CD40 (Fig. I) (3). Myeloperoxidase is an enzyme secreted from monocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages. A single measurement taken from patient with chest pain in the emergency department predicted the early risk of myocardial infarction and the risk of major cardiac of ends in the next 30 days to six months (15).
