The Harms and Benefits of Inflammatory and Immune Responses in Vascular Disease

Year: 2006

Type: review

Abstract: A ccumulating experimental evidence strongly supports a role for inflammatory, innate immune and adaptive immune mechanisms in many facets of vascular disease. 1 This brief review will highlight recently published insights into inflammation and immune system involvement in stroke biomarker identification, atherosclerosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation, thrombosis, ischemic tolerance, progression of ischemic brain injury, and peristroke infections.
