Plasma concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 (IL10) have been shown to be decreased in patients with unstable angina (UA) suggesting that reduced concentrations of IL10 may favour plaque instability and the development of acute coronary syndromes. Diltiazem has been shown to exert beneficial effects in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, the potential influence of diltiazem on the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 in patients with UA has not been investigated. This study was designed to find out the effects of diltiazem on IL10 in UA patients.
