To determine if increased inflammatory activity, as reflected by interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) levels, is present in patients with stable angina pectoris and if IL-6 levels on admission to the coronary care unit in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are related to heart failure and fever response. Subjects and methods. We studied 28 patients with stable angina pectoris enrolled for coronary angiography, and compared them with sex- and age-matched controls. Thirty-four patients with AMI were studied and samples for determination of IL-6 levels were taken on admission within 36 h of onset of symptoms. IL-6 and IL-1ra were determined in serum by enzyme immunoassay. Results. Levels of IL-6 and IL-1ra were higher in patients with stable angina pectoris than in controls (mean 4.6 ± 3.6 vs. 3.0 ± 2.9 ng L–1, P 4 days) had higher IL-6 levels (94.7 ± 138.2 vs. 21.7 ± 29.7 ng L–1, P
