Inflammatory cytokines have been implicated in the pathophysiology of HF.9 Several proinflammatory (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-a [TNF-a], interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and interferon-y) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin-10) are overexpressed in the failing heart. The most is known about TNF-a, a pleiotrophic cytokine that acts as a negative inotrope, stimulates cardiac cell apoptosis, uncouples 3-adrenergic receptors from adenylyl cyclase, and is related to cardiac cachexia. The exact role of cytokines and inflammation in HF pathophysiology continues to be studied. 

O Inflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of COPD, but it differs from that seen in asthma therefore, the use of and response to anti-inflammatory medications are different. 

Characterize the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). 

Discuss the pathophysiology of sepsis as it relates to endotoxin, peptidoglycan, and pro-and anti-inflammatory mediators. 

Thus, inflammatory factors play a role at all stages of atherosclerosis in its initiation, progression, and final clinical manifestations. This new understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis has partly resulted from the study of chemokines and their receptors (4).
